Why did I take AP Lit

[@richardhenningsen8894]

Because you're awesome, and it's wonderful! That's why.

I'm debating dropping out of highschool

[@fruitybooty663]

Exactly 😂 We're barely half a semester in and I think I might have had a mental break down over the paper yesterday :D

[@korialogo]

Why did I opt to pay more than $15,000 a year to attend more *optional* school and read this?

[@douglasvaughn3614]

I would like to thank the people who gave time to record this

[@korialogo]

Gotta “read” this for a class tomorrow... 2X speed! Thanks to the voices for recording this!

[@ronan6764]

i do to

[@hellogoditsmesatan7169]

I just spent over 12 hours cramming my summer reading audio books and this comment has just made me realize I could have been using 2x speed the whole time 🥲

[@epalacios11b]

I’m about to do the same thing 😂

[@valerielefebvre927]

i have to read this for in 2 hours

[@GoesByJ]

im taking a test tommrow lol

[@honorarybard3189]

Does no one know these are all volunteers? By no means professional, they're giving their free time to record these to give everyone a free audiobook. There is no need to insult them on every thing. There's a lot of things that aren't perfect by any means, yes. But come on, it's free, at least be happy about that.

[@mochacw685]

I agree totally

[@JohnScottMatheny]

[@hope2929]

Big thank you to the volunteers who took the time to record and produce this audio. As a student with learning disabilities, I am extremely grateful to have something to listen and follow along to, rather than struggle with comprehending the unfamiliar speech patterns and ancient vernacular. These people really have made my day!

[@mochacw685]

Yes

[@xrrgr]

[@JustinZickefoose]

Oedipus: Oh no I hope the prophecy is wrong and I don't marry my mother Oedipus later: Oh no the prophecy was right **Literally stabs out his own eyes in horror** Freud: Clearly all men want to sleep with their mothers

[@thenumbertwo9136]

I JUST WANNA KNOW HOW HOT FREUD'S MOM WAS FOR HIM TO COME TO THAT CONCLUSION

[@alancosta4760]

It's not literal, it's an unconscious representation of the mother.

[@kirstenjames6174]

I have so little time to read this for class so I’m glad for this so I can listen to this.

this is how i realized my teacher gave us the dumbed down version

[@LindzVachon]

Great job to all who were part of the recording of this :)

[@remyhocage9854]

Thanks for posting. I’ve always enjoyed listening rather than reading plays. Cheers!

[@joenax777]

I have to read this for my summer reading assignment. I don't understand a thing help. oh and by the way WHAT THE HELL IS THAT VOICE FOR THE CHORUS I CANT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY

[@josephharold808]

The chorus deadass be sounding like a carnival mask

[@jameshoward2893]

Whoever voiced the chorus sucks at voice acting

[@00LB]

Thank you for making this reading and every other reading into an audible😊

[@Bearded_Dragon_Sir]

This play made me want to gouge my eyes out.

[@jobhunter5090]

Thank you for the reading of oedipus. It was a different version than the one i own, but it helped me focus as I read. Also i enjoyed the chorus's echo effect, though i feel it would have been better for the oracle as they spoke for the gods and would have done well to sound more ephemoral. Still great production

[@santawarrior9]

Thanks a lot guys! this makes the script easier to read

[@AubreyFaye]

Some of these voices made me laugh lol, great job. I needed that. Hopefully I get an a on my test. Thanks guys 🙏

[@ramia1289]

Students... Like if you here because of the class

[@chalieamullee13]

who's bright idea was it to put that effect on the choruses voice??

[@josecasillas9352]

Dude yes, wtf it gave me a headache smh.

[@kioplqwerty]

That is why I am actually reading the play. If you think you learn anything from audiobooks you are wrong...........how are you going to integrate quotes and page numbers?

[@mr.impatient4850]

damn!!! This helped me alot to understand the german version of the same story! Thanks alot for the upload mate Cheers! now, time to translate in german langauge. :(

[@afonsobongo6228]

Have to read this play within 2 days.... I'm 13. No thanks, I'll just listen

[@danielbrody2431]

why does teiresais sound like a cosplayed zuko

[@LookForHybridLPS]

If everyone is gonna complain about the shit quality and poor voice acting, why doesn't one of y'all just record yourselves reading the damn thing.

[@RedGod55]

Lol only bad part is the chorus weird filter voice, if they just did that one vanilla it would have made more sense

[@andrewluvender2984]

I’m a finance major.. yet somehow I find myself here; reading oedipus for the second time in my life. But this time without the cushion of the “normal human being talk” translations. I typically am proud of my sharp vocabulary skills but old timey play talk just baffles me. Trying to read it on my own it just comes out senseless word vomit. But reading alongside this audio, I have a much better grasp of what I am reading. So thank you so much for this recording. It seems petty for me to voice this gripe, but still, I must ask. Why on earth must the chorus be read in an impossible to understand echoing ear rape?

[@TeenStoryTime]

Thanks for sharing. This is an excellent production.

[@wilsanoman5599]

most of the people reading are over pontificating, and putting on strange voices, is there a more uniform version anywhere?

[@JXEditor]

Is Oedipus played by Brother Jauffre from Oblivion?

[@michaelaltawil]

No, I checked, Jauffre was voided by Ralph Cosham, but it does sound like him

[@giapwnezikh.omeleta]

Being greek,having studied Oedipus Rex in ancient greek in university,listening it now in english just to see if the translation did justice...that's how bored corona made me...

[@ghost-yg4ky]

did the translation do it justice?

[@giapwnezikh.omeleta]

@@ghost-yg4ky the meaning is ok in english, but in ancient greek there were specific words that the sound of them made you feel how the writer intended you to feel...like the often usage of the letter "T" made you subconciously follow a certain rhythm and be scared of what will happen...anyway...

I'm so happy to hear this

[@Mari-pf3cm]

The priest sounds exactly like Lena Headey (Cersei from Game of Thrones) ❤

[@KarinaDaydream]

Thank gosh I have a quiz tomorrow

[@alyxcarson]

These voices are so annoying

[@valkyriesardo278]

I am glad to hear it confirmed this is an amateur production. I find the novice talent is too much of a distraction from the writer's work. The older gentleman reads in a sing-song voice. It was a bad idea to add an echo distortion to the child's voice. I will hope to discover some other recording that is read in more conversational tones.

[@atoastyavacado6412]

ap lit is my 13th reason😍

[@doxazo5512]

I mean this is cool and all, but could they really not get a male voice for Tiresias?

[@tayl0r492]

I mean, Tiresias transformed into a woman for seven years at one point in his life so I don't think the gender of the reader is that important

[@embur3908]

Yo this book makes no sense. Ima fail

[@sarahpisto4058]

Probably because A) it is not a book, at all... B) you clearly just don't care? Believe it or not, things like this are important because in life you WILL need to be able to read and understand things besides snapchat and tik tok. Sincerely, a real life University student trying to find the -actual- screenplay so I can watch it instead of reading it over for the 17th time.

[@embur3908]

@@sarahpisto4058 sure things like this are important...but ur reply...completely irrelevant. Stop wasting ur time writing nasty comments and learn how to be a respectable human being. Thanks 😊. Much love
