Some key take aways I have had since the beginning of the play is the link between a lot of greek theatre. I learned that many components of greek theatre have similarities that ultimately define the style of the theatre productions made in ancient Greece.

Diary Entry of Oedipus
The man Tiresus has slandered my name! How dare he blame me, Oedipus of Thebes as the murder? Me? The very man seeking for the murder of Laius? Has he got no basic knowledge to understand I would not be searching for the murder if it was really myself? He speaks mere nonsense and his […]
How violence is portrayed in the play?
Violence is apparent within the play Romeo and Juliet. This violence is pretty clear, and it comes from the Capulet and Montague house feud that is shown within this play (this causes the major issue within the play).
