IN 200 WORDS MAXIMUM write a plot summary of OEDIPUS THE KING. Tell me WHEN and WHERE the play takes place, name the most important characters (not everyone in the play), how they relate to each other and describe the key events/incidents of the play and how it ends. USE YOUR OWN WORDS and NOT an online source. This is a test of your editing skill and your ability to condense complex detail. MAKE EVERY WORD COUNT! If I have never seen or read OEDIPUS THE KING, I need to be able to understand the story from your summary.
