Henryyy:I hate it when people can't just get their point ahead without insulting others. WTF, is wrong with you? Didn't learn manners as a child? Are your senses complete? What da hell!!! Was he the first to write or in your own words "draw inspiration" from the story of Oedipus? Even Sigmund Freud in the 1930s used it to explain a psychological issue now referred to as the "Oedipus Complex" in psychology. Okay if in defending your icon that he drew inspiration from it, the first person to write a tragic drama on Oedipus was Sophocles in 429BC, because he changed it into an African setting you want to call it whatever name? Plagiarism is plagiarism stop white washing it and call it what it is, so that intellectuals can actually use their brains in creating something and not modifying another persons hard work. And please never mention me again or I go change am for you na na. |

CzarChris: Apparently you don't know what plagiarism means. Accept that you're wrong and stop arguing. He would have paid for it dearly if the work had been considered a plagiarism, but it was considered one of the best adapted literary work. |
