ger analyzes the layers of theatrical self-awareness in all sevenSophoclean tragedies, giving special attention to Electra, theplaywright's most metatheatrical work. He focuses on plays within plays,characters who appear to be in rivalry with their playwright in "scripting"their dramas, and the various roles that characters assume in their attempts to deceive other characters or even themselves. Ringer also examines instances of literal role playing, exploring the implications of the Greek convention of sharing multiple roles among only three actors.Sophocles has long been praised as one of the masters of dramaticirony. Awareness of Sophoclean metatheater, Ringer shows, deepens our appreciation of that irony and reveals the playwright's keen awareness of his art.Originally published in 1998.A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.
