¿treacherous?
First of all, it took quite a few tries before I was able to spell treacherous for the title. But the point of this blog post is to relight the topic of treachery in the pieces we read this semester. We see treachery in almost every work. In Media, we see it when she poisons the dress and kills her children and others. In Hamlet, it occurs all the time, with the people listening to others conversations and planning murders with poison. In the Inferno, there is an entire circle of hell, which happens to be the worst circle, just for individuals who committed treacherous acts in their lifetime. Just a reoccurring topic that might be handy to keep in mind as you all prepare for the midterm. Cheers

Nice observation Sir Richard, Duke of Hahnville. While there are lots of instances of treachery in the works you stated, lets not over look some of the other things we read. In Sing Unburied Sing, we see Leonie abandon her own kids to have sex with Michael and to get high. We are also told of the story of Given's death and how his own friends, ignited with racism, betrayed him by murdering him in cold blood. Then in Oedipus, I'm not sure if you can say this, but in a way, Oedipus was treacherous for killing his father, the king, and marrying his mother, even though he really didn't mean to. Finally in One Hundred Years of Solitude, Arcadio turns on the entire town of Macando when he sets up his awful dictatorship. I am not sure if these are as significant as the one you mentioned, but they are definitely worth looking into.
