And so you're expecting us to do your homework for you? There's only one way to deal with it in my experience and that's the hard way. Read some books, formulate ideas, come up with a main argument and structure your speech.

Of course not. I already have some topics but i'm not sure which one I should use.
I just want to see if i'm over looking something, something that I haven't thought of yet.
I've already identified these topics:
- The power of fate
- The role of the chorus
- Iocaste vs. Oedipus (comparing their reactions)
- The role of sight

Well there's the whole Freudian interpretation of Oedipus and his mum that you could look at.

I thought about doing an psychoanalysis but i think i'll go for the power of the fate. I'm not such a big fan of Freud

As I remember, the role of the chorus was important and had a lot of symbolism you could pick apart.

Greek tragedy = power of hubris.

You could find an issue in the play and compare it to current political times...
