We have been studying Greek drama, specifically Oedipus and Antigone. Now it's time for you to comment on those two dramas. The definition of tragedy in terms of drama is, "A story that presents courageous individuals who confront powerful forces within or outside themselves with a dignity that reveals the breadth and depth of the human spirit in the face of failure, defeat, and even death." (Meyer).
Please discuss the idea of courage and dignity in the two Greek dramas we have read. Which characters are the most courageous? Which ones are the least courageous? Do you think the characters act with dignity? Explain your answers using specific examples from the dramas. Once you have posted your response, you will also comment on other posts.
