WAGES OF SIN.
the director is here.
SHE'S THE MAN!!!
The Elizabeth in this movie,played by Cate Blanchett,is unsure of herself in her new role as queen,literally jiggling in her seat.She is portrayed as naive and in love for Lord Robert .In fact,the woman who donned the English coronation was a hardened and practiced politician who was not afraid of her power,and knew how to use it.She was raised in the reign of her father,King Henry,learning only too well how dangerous even a slight personal or political mistakes could be Elizabeth's strength of character came from surviving the incident of being the only offspring of Anne Boleyn,bastardized,patronized,and often threatened with physical harm,even death.Keenly intelligent, she was taught by the finest teachers,as befitted a true Renaissance queen.By the time she came to the throne,in addition to her political situation,she managed to be the real 'king'.
KILL THEN KING!!!
As in Antigone,the entrance of Tiresias signals a crucial turning point in the plot.But in Oedipus the King, Tiresias also serves an additional role.His blindness augments the dramatic irony that governs the play. Tiresias is blind but can see the truth.Oedipus has his sight but cannot.Oedipus claims that he longs to know the truth.Tiresias says that seeing the truth only brings pain.In addition to this irony,the conversation between Tiresias and Oedipus is filled with references to sight and eyes.As Oedipus gets angrier,he taunts Tiresias for his blindness, confusing physical sight and insight,or knowledge.Tiresias matches Oedipus insult for insult,mocking Oedipus for his eyesight and for the brilliance that once allowed him to solve the riddle.Neither quality is now helping Oedipus to see the truth nor the hidden.
