The Tragic Hero: In Oedipus Tyrannus, should we view Oedipus as tragic only, or can we find something heroic in his actions and end? Support your argument by discussing only events and lines from the play. Make sure to explain your definition of “hero” so that your readers are working from the same set of criteria that you are.

Assessing Right Action: In Week 3, we read two sacred works that talk about righteous and morally good behavior–both the Gita and the Qur’an can be seen as providing models for how to act well as part of a human community. For this topic, use the moral advice given by 1 of those two works to evaluate the choices and/or actions of a character from 1 work we read in Week 2; you could, for instance, evaluate the choices/actions of the narrator of one of Li Bai’s poems using the models given by Krishna in the Gita, or evaluate Oedipus himself using the models in the Qur’an. For your thesis, make a claim about whether that character would be considered a morally good person under the models of the sacred text in question. Use only passages from your chosen two works as support for your claim.

Shared Themes: Choose one (1) poem by Li Bai, and identify in it a theme that you also can find in Oedipus Tyrannus. Compare and contrast the two works’ treatment of the theme. Do they deal with that theme in a way that is more alike or different? Focus your thesis on arguing how the treatments are more similar/different, and support your argument by discussing only passages from the two works.
