  6. OEDIPUS THE KING Take notes on the following. Title them: “Oedipus the King Notes” • Hamartia= a term developed by Aristotle that refers to a character’s flaws or errors. • Hamartia usually brings about unintentional harm from the character who possesses it. • Hubris= excessive pride, haughtiness or arrogance • Hubris usually leads to the downfall of the character who possesses it, thus it is a negative trait.

  7. OEDIPUS THE KING • Tragic hero= a dignified or noble character (who is central to the drama) who possesses a tragic flaw (or hamartia) that brings about or contributes to his/her downfall. • This tragic flaw may be • excessive pride (“hubris”) • Poor judgment • Weakness • Stubbornness • An excess of an admirable trait • The tragic hero usually recognizes his/her flaw, but only after it’s too late.

  8. OEDIPUS THE KING How does Aristotle’s definition of a tragic hero applies to Oedipus? Based on this definition, what TWO things do you think you will have to prove?

  13. OEDIPUS THE KING Don’t write this down: Just listen to this brief reminder of writing rules: Never start a sentence with a quote Always give in-text citations after quotes Never say “I,” “me,” “my,” “you,” or “your” if you’re not asked to write about yourself. (Exception: Hook) Never start a sentence with “And,” “But,” “Because,” “So,” “Well.” Always write out a number under 100 when it’s in a sentence (except in in-text citation) If you’re talking about two people doing something and you’re trying to debate when you use “I/me,” “him/her” or “ he/she,” just remove the other person from the sentence & see which sounds right. When speaking about something that happened in the past, always use past tense verbs. “Like if” is not a phrase. Let’s review dead words and phrases of death!

  14. OEDIPUS THE KING Study/organize/write rough draft for your test!!! *Make sure you have page numbers, so you can include in-text citations after giving evidence.
