The movie Minority Report and the play Oedipus the King deal with the issues of free will and determinism and how much control humans have over their lives. The article “Free Will and Determinism in the World of Minority Report” expands on this issue, offering some working definitions of determinism as well. Compare and contrast the perspectives of the two texts (the play and the movie) on the issue of how much control humans have over their lives or whether forces such as destiny natural and biological laws etc determine the outcome of our lives, making sure you include references to the article. While this is a philosophical topic, you will need to use textual evidence that make the topic’s development tangible and concrete for your readers. When using evidence from Minority Report, remember that you are not writing a movie review or mere plot summary.
