ESSAY ON: Oedipus: Creating His Own Problems

Number of Pages 3

This research paper: A 3 page paper discussing several ways in which Oedipus created many of his own problems. A prophecy at his birth stated that he would kill his father and marry his mother, and in the end, the prophecy was fulfilled. It would not have been, however, had Oedipus been (1) more accommodating and (2) less determined to learn every detail possible. Ultimately, it was his impetus nature that led to his downfall. Wandering as a beggar instead of ruling over Corinth can be seen as not being entirely Oedipus’ fault, but still he must share the blame for bringing the fate on himself.
