consider the issue of self-knowledge. How have you seen characters aided by their ability to be honest with themselves or harmed by their lack of self-knowledge?
Write one beautifully unified and fabulously developed essay in which you explore the significance of self-knowledge in three works of literature. Discuss one short story, one poem, and one play that we have read this semester.
In your discussion of each work, consider the following questions:
Which character(s)/narrator/speaker in each work is/are most clearly affected by self-knowledge (i.e., insight) or lack thereof? How does self-knowledge or lack thereof affect that/those character(s)/speaker? How does the issue of self-knowledge relate to one of the works themes?
Literary work to use:
Oedipus Rex (oedipus the king) by Sophocles
The Waking” by Theodore Roethke
A Clean Well-Lighted Place” Hemingway’s
