What do they share in terms of Narrative structure?
For Fifth Business, you can talk about the usage of masks…..or the concept of Justice in Oedipus Rex.
Well, as I’ve only read Oedipus Rex, I’ll have to go with that.
What was/is wrong with both the Ancient Greek and Current Western culture, that they would think of patricide, incest, and eventual ******* as one of the greatest stories ever written?
All of them had ancestry elsewhere and their texts reflects this.Hence: How do the writers’ works represent backward glances and politics of identity?
