Some Helpful Hints:

 * Like Shakespeare's audience, Sophocles' audience also knew the story they were witnessing; therefore, dramatic irony was a common literary device of the play.
 * The chorus plays an integral role in the action of the play--read their lines purposefully.
 * Fate is a major theme of the play. In the end, does it come down to fate or personal choice?
