<\/strong>When Creon admonishes Oedipus at the end of Oedipus the King<\/i>, he asserts, \u201cStop this striving to be master of all. The mastery you had in life has been your fall.\u201d In doing so, Creon depicts Oedipus as a classic tragic hero. Read one short story or poem, or watch one film that depicts the role of ambition in a hero\u2019s demise or redemption. Make a double-columned comparison chart depicting the similarities and differences between the character and Oedipus. <\/p>\n

And then in a well-constructed essay, consider the following questions: <\/p>\n

1. What character traits, dramatic elements, or plot events depict the protagonist as being ambitious? <\/p>\n

2. Does this character illustrate a moral or social code of behavior? If so, describe it. <\/p>\n

3. What is the character\u2019s greatest desire? <\/p>\n

4. What ultimate price is the protagonist willing to pay to reach his\/her objective? <\/p>\n

5. Detail the outcome of the protagonist\u2019s struggle with ambition. <\/p>\n

6. Does the protagonist regret his\/her decision? How do you know? <\/p>\n

7. Is the protagonist ultimately redeemed or condemned for his\/her choices? <\/p>\n

8. What role does hubris play in the character\u2019s tragic fall? <\/p>\n

Also consider the themes of ambition, fate, blindness, family, self-destruction, and gender roles. <\/p>\n
