Oedipus comic #1: The beginning


Oedipus The King Comic Strip Episode #1
The beginning


Response:
This quote reminded me that this act of the Oedipus stories started in media res, and I was able to visualize oedipus' previous feats in clearer detail. I believe that this story element helps make the play lean more towards tragedy, because instead of focusing on the main character’s success years ago, we get a small glimpse of how mighty oedipus use to be and ready ourselves for the death and misery with the plague arriving in Thebes. With this recap of his previous adventures, I feel that I will be better able to compare and contrast the Oedipus from before and after. It was necessary to include this scene in my collection of comic strips because I wanted to highlight the importance of Oedipus's past so that viewers would feel the same way I did at first when reading the play.
