1.      Describe the characters (how many, silent x speaking, entrances, exits, movement, what they
are like, what they want, what they (not) know/realize).

2.      Describe the structure and dramatic techniques employed (what are the smaller units of
meaning in the scene? breaking points, repetitions – why?, stichomythia).

3.      Examples of dramatic irony, ambivalence and double meaning.

4.      Where is hubris there?

5.      Discuss the question of identity: I argue one of the topics of this scene (and the whole
play) is identity (what it is, how it is constructed, who Oedipus is). How would you support this
argument?
