In the play Oedipus Rex, from the beginning of Oedipus's rule in Thebes through the end where i he exiles himself, how does the relationship with the gods with the people in Thebes change, beginning, middle and end.

Answer 1

Suggestion:
1. Go through the first 1/3rd of the play and make notes about every instance in which a god or goddess is mentioned. In addition, be sure you note how that god/goddess is affecting the humans at that point in the story.

2. Do the same thing toward the end of the story, probably about the last 1/4th of the play.

3. The "middle" in your assignment undoubtedly is there to get you to determine why you think any changes happened.
