Oedipus Fair Self Analysis
In my humble opinion I do not believe it is a fair self-analysis when Oedipus refers to himself as, “the worst of men.” He undoubtedly appears arrogant, ill tempered and somewhat narrow-minded in his statements but the worst of men, he is not. It seems to me as though the Gods preordained all his past and fate and he was simply inserted into this life without that foresight. Thus, the limited knowledge he had prohibited him from being able to choose differently.
