\nbelow, compose an argument-based essay 3 pages in length (double-spaced,
\n12-point Times New Roman font, in either Word or PDF). Your paper should be
\nwell organized, coherent, and concise. Be sure to clearly express the thesis of
\nthe argument in the first paragraph, and devote each of the following
\nparagraphs to developing a new point\/reason in support of the thesis. I suggest
\nthat you first create an outline of your argument for yourself, and, when you
\nare revising, check that each paragraph develops its own specific point. AVOID
\nplot summary, off-topic discussion, and anything that does not clearly further
\nthe argument.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nOedipus\u2019 suffering (i.e., what<\/i>, exactly, does he suffer), and in what
\nsense, if any, does he deserve his suffering? In answering this question, you
\nmight consider the issue of Oedipus\u2019 agency: (how) do will and knowledge factor
\nin, (how) is divine knowledge or fate relevant? In your response, you should
\nexplicitly engage specific passages from both Sophocles\u2019 Oedipus the King<\/i>
\nand Dodds\u2019 article \u201cOn Misunderstanding the Oedipus Rex.<\/i>\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n
\naround the specific reasons for your argument. That is, each body paragraph
\nshould consist of a reason or sub-claim that adds to your case. Develop each
\nbody paragraph by engaging key passages from Sophocles\u2019 Oedipus the King <\/i>and
\nDodds\u2019 article \u201cOn Misunderstanding the Oedipus Rex.<\/i>\u201d NO outside
\nresearch or other sources are called for \u2013 all you need are Sophocles, Dodds,
\nand your own ideas (remember: you will not find your own ideas on Google or
\nChatGPT!). AVOID vague or over-general references, such as \u2018Oedipus often seems
\nlike a jerk.\u2019 Instead, point to a specific
\n<\/i>passage, and provide a citation. Remember, your evidence needs to SUPPORT
\nyour point. The more specific your evidence, the better. For example, to
\nestablish as one of your points the idea that Oedipus\u2019 people admire his
\nleadership but regard him ultimately as human, you might cite in support the
\nPriest\u2019s opening speech:<\/span><\/p>\n
\nthe first scene of the play, the Priest clarifies that the people do not revere
\nOedipus as a god but rather as \u201cthe first of men\u201d (OT <\/i>31-32). This wording emphasizes how Oedipus is ultimately human,
\nwhich is important because…<\/span><\/p>\n
\nparaphrase (i.e., put in your own words) a short passage wherever possible. You
\nmay, as in the example above, directly quote a short <\/i>passage, provided
\nthat the exact wording is significant to your point. AVOID lengthy quotations.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nquoted passage should be given in parentheses at the end of a sentence, as in
\nthe example above (OT <\/i>31-32). <\/span>Use the following
\nabbreviations, plus the line number(s), for Sophocles, or the page number(s),
\nfor Dodds:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\nOedipus the King<\/i> as: OT<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
\nE. R. Dodds\u2019 \u201cOn Misunderstanding the Oedipus
\nRex<\/i>\u201d as: Dodds<\/span><\/p>\n
\nshort quotation,\u201d or a paraphrase of a passage, be sure to add an abbreviated,
\nparenthetical citation at the end of the sentence, just as you see in this very
\nsentence (Dodds 37). You do not need to provide a list of works cited, since
\nyou should only be referring to the readings listed above.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
