The past three Thursdays, I have completely forgotten to blog. And then I've just told myself I'll get to in on the next night they're do, thus creating a vicious circle. So I'm going to kill that and post them now!
I'm not sure I'm digging on Oedipus Rex so far. I'm having a difficult time remembering names, something I tend to be really good with in reading material, and it really doesn't interest me. If I could explain my reasoning, I would, but in this case it seems a bit difficult. There isn't one part that annoys me, it's just not holding my attention as much as it could. I'm probably just going to read more of it, then draw a full conclusion.
Truth is, though, I thought I would enjoy it a little more. I'd heard the basis of the story beforehand, and Greek mythology is really fascinating to me. Plus the psychological factors... It's just really, really weird. And I enjoy that. Perhaps it's because it's written in verse, and I developed an aversion for that when being forced to read Romeo and Juliet freshman year (note: I have no issue with Shakespeare, just that particular play). It kind of killed that writing style for me.
Okie dokes, next blog!
