Issues you might wish to discuss/think about before the essay on Friday: (a) Sophocles' use of irony to develop his themes (b) free will/fate (c) Oedipus as a tragic hero (d) the motif of blindness, especially as it applies to Oedipus
You will be allowed to use the plays during the essay and I strongly recommend reading through the play again and marking important passages.
Also, read through the third criticism I gave you today -- see if you gain any additional insights.
Finally, we will begin discussion of Heart of Darkness on Thursday the 23rd, so complete your first reading by then.

Are you saying that we can use the play as a example in our time essay or use the play during the time essay to look at??
I think Ms. Minor means that we can use the play to look at. The timed essay is on the play.
Well, it's a literary paper, so the play's going to be your main or only source of evidence. So... both?
