comparison of Ovid and Seven Deadly Sins
... The second play we went to was Tales From Ovid, which touches about the lives of Greek mythological figures. ... The underlying message that I walked away with was that of the consequences that go along with what we desire, which has since been defined as the seven deadly sins. The first example of these would be that of the story of King Midas, who to me is the epitome of Greed, the first deadly sin. ... Minerva’s revenge is similar to the acts of retribution throughout Ovid’s other accounts. ... Gluttony also seems to be a fundamental idea in Ovid’s stories. Whether it is the greed, lust, or any other elements from this play, the sins all seem to be displayed and carried out in excess.
