PART 2.

1. These are the two passages in oedipus Rex that I thought best describe that best describes Oedipus?
pg. 961 Line 9 and Line 16

2. The external conflict that the audience is that we know as a the huge mistake that oedipus makes but he wants to know who killed the king.

3. I think the affects of imagery that are given to the audience are clear visual pictures of what's going on.

4. The talk of Gods, plague, Death, misery.

5. I think that the chorus is singing to Zeus that they don't want trouble to come towards them and that they will find whomever killed the previous king.


PART 3.

1. Pg.968 Line #83 and #84 pg. 969 Line#101 and
Line #105.

2. The enternal conflict that Teiresias has is that he know the destiny of Oedipus before Oedipus knows.

3. Line #163 and #164 on page 970.

4.The best example of dramatic irony is the fact that the audience knows the secret that oedipus spends the whle story finding out.

5.When Oedipus claims the fact that he is going to be "The kings son."
another paradox could have been that he was the one that killed the king.

6. The chorus is talking about the killer's time is near or the fact that oedipus is about to find out that he is the killer and Apollo and the furies will strike him down.
