Dramatic Exercise
Drama: The play is constructed as an investigation of the past. All irrational things have been completed and they are unalterable. This construct intensifies the inevitability of it all and the looming sense of fate. Therefore, the drama of the play is not about the act of killing the king but rather the process of Oedipus' self-realization.
Power: drama is all about power, about someone winning, someone gaining something over the other person. Think about power on a few levels: personal, social, supernatural.
Hamartia: mistake or error in the hero that leads to his downfall
Working in groups, you must select the FIVE most important lines/sentences from the text. For each line you must create a tableau (a frozen physical representation of what the line shows -- remember power and status and changing levels). One group member is the narrator and the other group members are involved in the tableau. Each group will present its five lines to the class and the narrator will narrate the tableau.
Questions to think about: What story of Oedipus did each group tell? Who won each scene? How has power in each scene?
