Sample Solution

Play of Oedipus

In Oedipus Rex, tragic hero Oedipus engages in several conflicts with other characters, partly as a result of his tragic flaws: his short temper and arrogance. When Teiresias comes to Thebes at Oedipus`s request but doesn’t want to reveal the harrowing truth of Oedipus`s background, Oedipus quickly becomes angry and lashes out at the prophet. Oedipus`s paranoia leads him to suspect his brother-in-law, Creon, of conspiring with the blind prophet to oust Oedipus from power. A final external conflict takes place before the start of the play, when Oedipus kills the king and his attendants after they run him off the road to Thebes. The play also depicts Oedipus`s internal conflict as he discovers and struggles to accept the truth of his past and its effect on his present. He is in denial for much of the play, hoping that he did not kill his father and marry his mother. Eventually, the truth becomes clear, and he can no longer deny it. His internal struggle has become externalized, as he now serves as a symbol of the consequences of mental blindness.

rganisation – significantly higher than the other “essential” trade languages such as Mandarin Chinese, only rated useful by 28% of companies. (CBI, 2013). With France being Britain’s third most important export market (where English does not hold L1 status), the commercial benefits of the French language undeniably place it in line with, or in close second to English as a profitable language by UK, European and global businesses. Nations where French is recognised as an L1, such as France, Belgium and Luxembourg, are vital to the UK economy– these three countries alone bring £35 billion through exportation of British products every year. (Office of National Statistics, 2013.) The economic value of the English language is tremendous, and advantageous for both the UK economy and global business. Two-thirds of corporate executives surveyed by the Economist Intelligence Unit reported the most essential language to be of fluent proficiency in is English – followed by Mandarin Chinese and Spanish as the second and third most useful. (Harvard Business Report, 2012). For this reason, it is unlikely that the English language poses a threat to the French language within the economy unless in a European trade context, due to English already being established as a language of global trade. The results of this study support the idea that, to some extent, French is under threat from the global rise of English due to its continuous growth in economic trade deals and business negotiations, in addition to its dominance within the European political system. However, findings in this study suggest that the threat may not be as considerable as initially thought. As a result of recent changes in European politics, and relations between the European Union and the United Kingdom, French holds itself as a language vital to the function within European business and the European commission – something the English language cannot always fulfil. In conclusion, this creates the notion that the English language will not fully eradicate the practicality of the French language, and therefore is not a significant threat.
