The manipulation of time is one of the most essential elements in Sophocles' Oedipus the King. As your language arts class participates in a jigsaw discussion activity, they work together to analyze the play's plot structure and treatment of time as it relates to Laius's death. In addition, they identify and interpret the foreshadowing found in the selected pages.
