For this assignment, consider the following proposition: "Oedipus' fate may have been horrible, but he was ultimately better for discovering it." Make an argument for or against this proposition, using as evidence, at least one quotation from Plato's "Allegory of the Cave." This is an assignment about putting Oedipus' truth to the test of Plato's. How might they be in line with each other? How might they be different from each other? It's up to you to decide.
Nuts and Bolts: Typed, double spaced, MLA formatted on Microsoft Word and attached as a document that I can open. 500 words minimum and quote at least once from Oedipus and once from Plato's "Allegory" in support of your answer. Your work will be judged based on the uniqueness and quality of your argument, your familiarity and engagement with the material and of course fulfilling the formatting and length criteria of the assignment.
