      I like your interpretation of "second life". we can be totally different person when we meet new people which can be consider as second life or another life.

    1. Not only is Oedipus a victim, but so is Laios and Jokasta. Sophocles leaves the audience with one lingering question: are all lives predetermined?

      you conclusion is very clear and easy to understand your final claim.

    2. Tiresias delivers the truth to Oedipus

      i am not sure if Tirasias actually said the truth to Oedipus . According to your theses the way Oedipus was asking so much to know the truth was more important which proves that he really didn't have idea about what he have done.

    3. Jokasta and Laios had done everything they could to avoid fate, but the herdsman acted as the catalyst, not allowing the fate to die, but igniting it.

      good explanation of the quote. i like the way you explained everything.

    4. Unfortunately for Oedipus, he is fulfilling the prophecy by avoiding the prophecy, which again is an example of great irony used by Sophocles.

      here the main claim of your essay is very clear. he fulfilled the fate while trying to avoid it and on his way to run away from it.

    1. Hamlet and Claudius obviously both feel guilty and they pay the prize of their actions because of it .

      i think before concluding it you can take about the moment when hamlet says he sees himself through Lereties as both of them are trying to take revenge of their father's death. that when he was most guilty about what he did. you can use a quote too.

    2. It is certain to my mind that the Ophila that the audience is present with in Act IV is very different from the Ophilia that the audience meets at the beginning of the play.

      i also agree with this part. i also like the quote that you used to prove he was guilty at this point even tho its too late.

    3. Hamlet may feel guilty after murdering Polonius. It is obvious that he thought it was Claudius, who stood behind the curtain, in fact, he still believes he has killed Claudius,

      i feel like you should find a more close quote that hamlet was really guilty or explain how he intentionally didn't kill Polonius.

    4. After all those actions, did these two characters feel guilty at all?

      your claim is pretty different than normal since you asked it as a question which caught my attention at the first place.

    1. We take that from chapter one: “He went straight to the porch, indignant that a guest had been made to wait so long.”(3

      i think if you start taking evidence from book in your 2nd passage will be even better

    1. As a result, these issues create the idea that Greek gods, though powerful, face the same issues of love and honesty as any other mortal being.

      connections between thesis and conclusion is very clear.good job.

    2. wanted to return home to his family in Ithaca, he still spent a year with one of his several lovers, instead of trying to get back to Ithaca.

      i feel like that would be better if you add some more evidence form the book .

    3. All in all, the controversy of fidelity plays a huge role throughout this poem, proving to the reader that Greek gods face the same issues of love and relationships as humans do.

      I really like the your thesis .Its very clear and you will find a lot of evidence about this topic
