King and King and King

Oedipus the King, one of the ancient play that I learned from Dr Edwin. Oedipus the king who at first kind of heroic character. Oedipus solve the riddle that save Thebes. But then he realized that he is a bad person where he killed his own father and then he married his own mother which is both he do not know about; the truth. How pathetic marrying your mother? Killing your father? It is so very bad.


Then, the next play i learned is King Lear. Lear throw out his own daughter because of Cordelia, cannot say in words how much she love her father, King Lear. Lear divided his power, to make himself less of burden. Lear show his irresposibility, divided his power, to make his life easy, and making a sudden decision towards her daughter. At last, Cordelia is the one who save and stay with Lear not the other two.

After this...what else? I mean another king? KING KONG maybe...haha..just joking..Why do Dr Edwin pick up dramas related to king? Most of them. Also in Swordfish Then The Concubine. Why....
