REFLECTION ON LECTURES

In my first class on drama, it was so boring and I could not understand what was going on. As I learned more about drama, I find that I could understand better. Moreover, my interest on drama developed. Other than that, when I learned there is different types of theater and how the drama developed century by century. Moreover, I have learned about the stage character. The play by Edward Bond Bingo was interpreted as actions. After looking at my friends who acted the play, I could understand the play better and easier. Some of my friend expresses their expression in different ways while acting out the play. They have different characteristics, settings and so on. When I tried to act out the play together with my friend, it was quite interesting. Anyway I enjoy acting the play, where I could imagine myself as someone else at different setting, expressions and so on.

CYCLE OF LIFE

Different people view life differently. In Oedipus Rex there are three stages of life. There is baby, young man and old man. Some people view life by just looking at background of a person, but some view the value of life. In Oedipus Rex, Oedipus is from a royal family, where the people viewed Oedipus background. When we compare to William Shakespeare’s poem As You Like It there is seven stages of life. The first one is the infant, second is school boy, then lover, soldier, pantaloon and oblivion. He view life as men and women are players who plays their role according to their age and they supposed to.

IMPORTANT ELEMENT IN DRAMA

The most important elements in a play are the gender. I am saying this because, when we verify the gender, whether it is female or male, and then only we could guess or find out the subject of the play. Moreover, after we identified the gender, the conversation is easy to understand. When we watch a play, the differences between the male and female expression is important. Other than that, sometimes the gender conveys different meaning to the audience. Sometimes, gender also could impress the audience. The play will also be interesting when there is an element of gender. In some play, the male actor would perform the female role. This shows that, the element of gender is important. As my friends act out the play by Edward Bond Bingo

I feel that the element of settings is important. Even the background is also important to make the play interesting.

REFLECTION ON TUTORIAL

The reflection about the tutorial class was, the tutor gave more detail explanation on Oedipus Rex, such as the early scenes and the later scenes. I could understand the play better after doing the exercise. Actually, I did not complete reading Oedipus Rex, before attending the tutorial class. I only know the earlier scenes in Oedipus Rex. So, to complete the assignment, I forced myself to complete reading Oedipus Rex. After complete reading Oedipus Rex, I know what happen in the later scene of Oedipus Rex. It is an interesting play. Next, I could recognize the themes in Oedipus Rex at the next tutorial class. Not one theme, more than one theme. Sometimes, the tutorial class is boring.
