Mini Research Essay Thesis

In every story authors create and portray characters the way want them to be perceived by the readers. Authors create all different types of characters such a selfish, kind,greedy,happy, or even malicious characters.By doing that  the readers can't help but to judge the characters based on what the authors have provided to read about. For example these two authors Guy de Maupassant creator of The Necklace and Kate Chopin creator of Desiree's Baby. Both authors created two completely different works of female characters. In The Necklace Madame Loisel character  was malicious, selfish and rude. While in Desiree's Baby, Desiree character was  beautiful,gentle,affectionate and at sometimes naïve. These two characters create by two different authors really show us that are opinion of characters are really shaped by how the author feels about its own characters.

In the play of Oedipus Rex Oedipus character always seems to be at constant battle with itself. Oedipus strengths also seem to be the same thing that weakens him. For Oedipus, facts and details are the very things that make him a good leader. But this is also his biggest down fall, he so obsessed  with finding the logic of things that he doesn’t listen to the warning and pleas of others  to make him stop in his quest. I believe that Oedipus biggest strength is logic and pride but it is also his biggest weakness. As Oedipus comes closer and closer to the truth his strength mislead him and his weakness blind him from the very truth. Unfortunately for Oedipus "in life suffering is inevitable, but wisdom can be gained through it" (Pointers).But is this particular wisdom something that you would truly want to know.
