Oedipus: Mask

I didn't know how to scan my mask onto here so I guess I'll just turn it in at the end of the semester, but I needed to blog about something. For my mask, I did the scene where Oedipus stabbed his eyes out because it was the easiest one to interpret. I did my mask like the Phantom of the Opera's, partially because I love that movie and musical but mostly because I thought the Phantom and Oedipus were a bit similiar. The Phantom is tormented by the disfiguration on his face which causes people to judge and prejudice against him while Oedipus is tormented by the fact that he had murdered his father, married his mother, and caused a curse to be placed over his kingdom. My mask is completely black except for the blood dripping from his eyes because black is the color of evil and I guess I think it's evil that he killed his dad and had kids with his mom. I believe that that's a tad bit weird and strange and not right. But maybe that's just me.
