Oedipus the King

In class, we have been reading Oedipus the King together as a class. For me, I thought it was a very odd and messed up story. Oedipus is married to his mother, of which he doesn't know is his mother, and has two daughters. That kind of grossed me out! We also watched the movie too. I think I understood that better than actually reading the story. But, the movie they seemed over dramatic but I guess that's how they were while doing tragedies.

For my independent reading book, I have not had the time to read any of it :( I hate being busy busy busy! I should get to have time this weekend to read it since I will be going to Minnesota and will have a long car ride!
