  • Oedipus the King: Narcissistic Oedipus

    833 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the play Oedipus Rex by Sophocles, Oedipus is a classic tragic hero. According to Aristotle's definition, Oedipus is a tragic hero because he is a king whose life falls apart when he finds out his life story. There are a number of characteristics described by Aristotle that identify a tragic hero. For example, a tragic hero must cause his own downfall; his fate is not deserved, and his punishment exceeds the crime; he also must be of noble stature and have greatness. Oedipus is in love with his idealized self.  All of the above characteristics make Oedipus a tragic hero according to Aristotle's ideas about tragedy.

  • Lust in Homer's The Odyssey and Aristophanes’ Lysistrata

    1388 Words  | 3 Pages

    Lust is defined as an intense longing or a sexual desire. It is a common theme in literature; particularly in classic Greek literature. The reason it is so prevalent in literature is that is prevalent in our daily lives. Everyone lusts after something or someone. It is an interesting topic to examine closely, and classic literature is an excellent medium for such an investigation. Two works I have studied, in which lust is a theme, are an epic, Homer's The Odyssey, and a play, Aristophanes’ Lysistrata. In both The Odyssey and Lysistrata, lust is a theme that plays a major role in the course of the story, making the stories similar, but very different.

    Narcissism is a disorder of high self-appraisal. Individuals who encounter narcissistic views, tend to not only hurt loved ones, but can also blindly guide themselves to tragedy. This personality disorder has a tendency to lead one to “chronic feelings of depression, and suicidality” (Whitbourne). Greed is the ultimate power of defeat and according to both stories created by Kate Chopin and Edgar Allan Poe, some of the characters result in just that. Armand in “Desiree’s Baby” and Fortunato in “Cask of Amontillado” are both portrayed as narcissistic characters in terms of lusting for pride and arrogance, to get what one wants for their own good nonetheless, hurts those around

It is important to state that he was not diagnosed with this disorder in the show and that my knowledge about this disorder allowed me to diagnose him.

  • Arrogance of Greek Heroes

    1441 Words  | 3 Pages

    Often readers will criticize the champions of classical and medieval epics for egotism. Critics cite examples from the Odyssey, the Aeneid, and Beowulf of conceit and egocentric behavior. Odysseus, Aeneas, and Beowulf display a well-known arrogance befitting their accomplishments. The motivation for this arrogance, to complete these tasks, to perform these feats, is often over-generalized to the point of inaccuracy and confusion. One must not let such misinterpretations interrupt the humanization of these characters. Through the examination of the desires and behavior of these epic heroes, we can discover an underlying need for recognition or honor. In classical and medieval western epics, the hero’s desire to complete a given quest is fueled by their desire to gain or maintain honor or fame.

  • Chris Mccandless Narcissist Analysis

    825 Words  | 2 Pages

    The story of Christopher McCandless is that of an over-ambitious youth trying to find himself. Chris’ story, as told in detail in Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer, ended tragically in his death within the Alaskan wilderness many months after running away from home with no contact to his family. In Krakauer’s work, he recounts interactions between Chris during his travels and multiple strangers. In this, one may conclude that Christopher McCandless is simply a reckless narcissist, who is selfish and privileged enough to think he can do and get away with whatever he wants. This is, in an emotional analysis, incorrect. Chris was subject to a severe Icarus complex, his ambitions being more than his body and life can handle. He refuses to contact his
