Not a personal fan of classics but the ideas about fate presented in this play were very interesting to think about.

Re-read in prep for teaching World Lit.
Oedipus is even more of a jerk than I remembered.

Most of us know the story already somewhat. You know what is coming at the end. It is what it is, Oedipus seemed irrationally angry with Creon and the Oracle though. He is in a position of power and showed weakness. Not as strong as the second Theban play to me, even if this is the origin of the Oedipal complex and is more historically important.

An interesting work. If Oedipus had been even more concerned about the prophecy, he would have vowed never to kill anyone or get married to anyone. Stupid man.
