You must write 1 essay about a page 2-3 pages in length . What I am looking for in your essay answers is a 5 paragraph essay format. I want you to support your statements with specific examples from the play. I want to know your opinion about the plays you are writing about, so think critically. I copied a paper outline that you SHOULD use as a model when writing the essay. This outline breaks down what a 5 paragraph essay looks like.
Essay Question: Greek tragic heroes suffer from the flaw of hubris (or arrogance) before the gods and fate. Do you believe this is true or false in regards to the character of Oedipus? Support your thesis with at least three examples of why or why not. 2-3 pages.
** Hint: Definition of arrogant: having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one’s own importance. (ex. Conceited, egotistical, superior or full of oneself)
***Please answer the question that is being asked above and don’t just give me a summary of the plot. Don’t come up with your own definition of a tragic hero, use mine above. Use the Paper Outline below to help with your structure. You have this week to complete this assignment. Again…..look at the Paper Outline below for writing your paper.
