Suffering In Sophocles 'Oedipus The King'
For a Mother's Affection

"Oedipus the Lord" is a disaster by the antiquated Greek dramatist Sophocles. Oedipus is the focal figure and unfortunate legend of Sophocles' play. After Oedipus' introduction to the world, his dad Ruler Laius of Thebes, gained from a prophet that his own child was bound to execute him. Sophocles' play is a replay, as we push ahead in the play occasions of the past gradually begin to unravel. Oedipus comes closer to his past, uncovering the condemnation.

Oedipus is not detestable, he is great. He is simply reviled by fate and that is the thing that makes him a disastrous saint. We need to unmistakably recognize obligation in the feeling of blame and obligation from the sensational perspective by assessing the occasions

Whether Oedipus' sufferings are because of a blemish of character or to a mistake of judgment, we find that his ruin results from acts which he himself is in charge of. Oedipus is in charge of his own destruction. While Oedipus slaughters his dad and weds his mom, he rebuffs himself for his haughtiness towards his destiny and to soothe Thebes of its anguish. At the point when Oedipus gouges out his eyes, he clarifies, "they will never see the wrongdoing I had conferred or had done upon me!" (1270-1271). Oedipus is embarrassed about what he has done and understands that a self-incurred discipline is the best way to take care of the issue. At the point when the melody asserts that he would be "preferred dead over visually impaired and living" (1367), Oedipus answers this is the most ideal approach to rebuff his self-importance. He lets them know that "I don't know with what eyes I could look" (1371) upon his guardians, "those two to whom I have done things meriting more regrettable discipline than hanging" (1373). Oedipus, while not in charge of his violations, feels that he is shaming the folks that raised him by stupidly challenging his destiny. He likewise understands that he is reason the city endures, and that he "burglarized his hopeless self" (1380) of anything pleasurable when "I instructed all to drive him out, the criminal since demonstrated by God unclean" (1381). Oedipus was a peril to Thebes before he set foot in the city. He plans to "live in the mountains where Cithaeron is," (1451) so he can "kick the bucket by their announcement who looked for, without a doubt to execute me" (1454-1455). Oedipus requests banish in the interest of the city, so it will no more

    This instantly places him right on top and boosts him up to fulfill the Kings position. His intuitive instincts and drive to put together his life signified him as a man always on a hunt. These qualities where huge attributes to his life however, he also had many negative traits which would end him. He was a man with a huge temper which leads right to his downfall. Since his temper is what ultimately killed his father, it was obvious that it would not stop there. His lack of emotion and sensitivity to these killing sprees was a sign of a broken man unwilling to wear his heart of his sleeve. A man of pride. This follows even more problems for Oedipus as time continues. He refuses to listen to Teiresias, the blind seer of Thebes. He is informed about his future and is taking back by all that makes sense to him now. He is left alone to figure out what to do next. Instead of handling the situation calmly and effectively, he goes out on an rampage and seeks to kill his wife/mother for not telling him to the truth. Once he arrives, he instantly finds her hung by her own hair. This forces him to completely lose his right state of mind and punishes himself by gauging his…

    Oedipus and David Denby

    Sophocles gives him all this freedom to roam and go about his doing’s that in his own mind are the right things. Which in fact are the opposite because of the information that he doesn’t know. Moving forward upon what Oedipus’s knowledge is the right thing to do is actually in tern leading him to his demise. I believe Oedipus was cheated a very huge proportion due to the fact that he had no prior information about his father or his mother. About who he was and was acting mostly towards a prophecy that was fated to him. Oedipus’s life wouldn’t be a whole lot if he wasn’t trying to move up in life but how can he stand there not fighting back at the fact that the guilt and burden shouldn’t be all on his shoulders. There are many other people to blame like his father because of the actions and choices he made. His mother…

    Oedipus Rex Analisys

    The play starts with the presentation of the main character: Oedipus, the king of Thebes. Sophocles presents Oedipus to the reader as a majestic figure who addresses his attention to the people of Thebes from his palace. The city had been hit by a devastating plague due to Laïos (the previous Theban king) murder and Oedipus was believed to be able to help them overcome that hardship. As the play develops, the reader is provided with the fact that Laïos, Oedipus' biological father, and Iocastê, his biological mother, learned through an oracle that Oedipus was fated to kill his father. Laïos decided to kill his son and Iocastê ties their child's feet together. Oedipus was given to a shepherd to be sent to death, however, the shepherd, pitied the baby and changed his mind, handling the infant to a servant of Polybos, the King of Corinth. Oedipus was raised as Polybos son and never knew, despite his suspicions, that he, in fact, was not Polybos' biological child. During this sincere search for his true identity, he asked to the Delphi Oracle about his real parents. The Oracle did not provide him with the answer Oedipus was searching for, but told him he was doomed to kill his father and mate his own mother instead. Later, Oedipus met Laïos and, ignoring that he was his biological father, ended up killing him over an argument on the road to Thebes. Because he solved the Sphinx's riddle, Oedipus was rewarded with Thebes' kingship and the hand of the Theban queen, Iocastê, his biological mother. At this point, he demanded that the shepherd was brought to him and his search for the truth has ended: he found out he was Laïos' and Iocastê's son. When she figured out she was Oedipus' biological mother, Iocastê committed suicide and Oedipus struck his eyes with…

    Blindness In Oedipus Rex

    • 1110 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Since he blinds himself after he learns the truth, he transitions to becoming physically blind but spiritually aware. Earlier in the novel, he has tunnel vision for he must know the truth to maintain his leadership and feed his hubris for being the great king that solves the city’s problems. He refers to himself as, “I, Oedipus, who bear the famous name” (4), and refers to his subjects as “my children” (9). Oedipus elevates himself to a god-like standing, as even a priest comes to seek help from. The dynamics in this situation reveal that he places himself above everyone, which ultimately leads to his downfall. However, Oedipus is elevated in a more transcendental way at the end of the novel as he takes in genuine concern for his children and Thebes as opposed to the self-absorbed Oedipus seen throughout the course of the novel. No longer is the focus on his power and whether he is the plague of Thebes or not, but he takes action for his people. He exiles himself by saying, “Let me purge my father’s Thebes of the pollution” (77), marking his heroism and maintaining his promise that he would rid Thebes of plague at any cost. He shows concern for his family by saying, “Take care of [my daughter], Creon; do this for me” (77). By pleading for pity upon his children and ensuring that they’re protected after he leaves, he shows a gain in empathy and consciousness uncharacteristic of him in earlier scenes. His transition from self-inflation to self-actualization shows the meditation that is achieved through blindness. Oedipus Rex leaves off with the note “let none presume on his good fortune until he find life, at his death, a memory without pain” (81). This final quote suggests good fortune cannot be determined until one can reflect on life without regrets or pain. Although Oedipus faces decline in…

    In the study of Greek plays, one tries to recreate for an experience, to recapture something of what is meant to those for whom it was written. We know more about the life of Sophocles than we know do about the lives of any other Greek playwright, but this still is not a lot. Sophocles’ work has been said to be the pinnacle of Greek tragedy. Oedipus the King is something like the literary Mona Lisa of ancient Greece. It presents a nightmare vision of a world turned upside down; a decent man, Oedipus, becomes the king of Thebes, whilst in the process unknowingly fulfilling a prophecy that he would kill his father and marry his mother. As scholars, we are bound to relate this story through history, to ask what the writer really meant, how…

    Although ruling with an iron ego, Oedipus has the admirable qualities that a leader of any place would and should possess; he has a deep devotion to the Theban population, “whose fame all men acknowledge” (Sophocles, 8). At the outset of the play, Oedipus’ intentions were honorable; he was determined to find Laius’ murderer and went to such lengths to end the plague on his people. His intentions were there and good. As a man of such noble status, he was dedicated to his people. Despite his dedication and apparent likability, it is his immense pride that disallows him from seeing his true nature: a hot-tempered, proud and cocky individual who ends up, in a paradox, blind as he “sees” the truth that he murdered his own father and has married and procreated with his mother, however unaware of that fact he was. Even in seeing his own truth, no pun intended, Oedipus begs for exile as a way to escape his cursed family; he asks his brother-in-law Creon to protect his daughters/half-sisters Antigone and Ismene in a move of selflessness counteracting his normally proud…

    According to McManus (1999), “In a perfect tragedy, character will support plot, i.e., personal motivations will be intricately connect parts of the cause-and-effect chain of actions producing pity and fear in the audience” (Paragraph 5). The pity and fear in Oedipus is apparent throughout the story. Peter Struck (2009) states, “Oedipus dynamic and multi-faced character emotionally bonds the audience; his tragic flaw forces the audience to fear for him, without losing any respect; and his horrific punishment elicits a great sense of pity from the audience”(Paragraph 5). This pity helps reinforce the idea of a tragic hero, because Oedipus is not responsible for his flaws. Pity is displayed through multiple actions. One way pity is displayed is through Oedipus’ pleas to the god’s for forgiveness. Pity is also displayed as Oedipus punishes himself as well as receives punishment from Creon. According to Struck (2009), “In effect, Oedipus is dead, for he receives no benefits for the living; at the same time, he is not dead by definition, and so his suffering cannot end” (Paragraph 4). Despite atoning for his wrongdoings, Oedipus continues to suffer when the play ends. He suffers in the fact that he is blind and everything he once had and knew is no longer true for him. Oedipus blinds himself in order to pay for the sins that he committed against his family. This shows that Oedipus is not a coward and is able…

    “Tragedy is an imitation not of men but of a life, an action…” (Aristotle). Greek Tragedy was invented five hundred years Before Common Era, and focuses on the actions of characters. These actions emphasize the harsh reality in which the innocent mankind lives in. In Oedipus the King, Oedipus is defined as one with great potential, but has a hamartia leading to the ultimate demise of himself. Oedipus’ actions are tragic, as he tries to make the right choice but fails. He was dealt a hand that would only lead him to lose. Furthermore, Sophocles develops Oedipus as a relatable character which allows for catharsis to occur. Aristotle’s, The Poetics, explains the necessary components to create a powerful Tragedy. Oedipus the King is a powerful representation of Aristotle’s ideas on tragedy, so the purpose, protagonist, fall, and plot elements in Oedipus the King demonstrate the concepts of tragedy written in The Poetics.…

    Oedipus, who was “sick at soul” eventually “tore the brooches from the robe of his dead wife and ground the pins into his eyes” (Bennet, Kerr, 3). As a result of this action, it is shown that Oedipus, filled with guilt and shame, imposes his own punishment on himself by abolishing his sense of sight. Through this, Oedipus clearly demonstrates how high the degree of remorse he feels is. On the contrary, when Creon becomes informed of the deaths of his own son and wife, he asks aloud “Is there no sword for me, to end this misery?” (Sophocles, 16). In this scene, Creon wishes to end his misery by killing himself as well, but as the story comes to a conclusion, it is speculated that Creon in fact, does not sentence himself to death. He imposes to only to be led away, to dwell for the remainder of his life in his own kingdom. It is here, that the true distinction between Oedipus and Creon shows. Oedipus, undeniably showing more remorse brings blindness and exile upon himself, compared to Creon, who only decides to reside within his home to live forever in sorrow. Unmistakably, through their self-imposed retributions, Oedipus demonstrates a higher level of remorse when compared to…

    Oedipus the King

    In the polis of Thebes, Oedipus was the not only the king but he was also the hero of the community. The security and health of the community depended on him and he was expected to meet every urgent crisis with a plausible solution. He was celebrated for acting decisively and making decisions and then acting on them. With all his past accomplishments and achievements, Oedipus developed a strong sense of confidence, which fueled his over inflated ego. Unfortunately, when circumstances did not turn out in his favor, such as in his conflict with Tiresias the blind prophet, Oedipus became rigid and refused to see the problem on any one else’s terms except his own. Oedipus only wanted things to go the way he thought they should go. Whatever stood in his way he tried to overcome publicly and without any compromise from the opposing party, which was illustrated in his argument in front of the palace with Creon over the murder of the former King Laius. Ultimately his attitude of confidence with no compromises contributed to his disastrous and sad end. In most cases, intelligence and diligence are valuable traits to possess, but for Oedipus they contributed to his eventual downfall. Oedipus was known for being extremely intelligent and was very talented at solving riddles. To earn the right to be King of Thebes, Oedipus solved a riddle, which as a result…

    Oedipus Tragic Hero

    • 281 Words

    Aristotle uses six different points to define a tragic hero. The tragic hero must be of noble stature and have greatness. Though the tragic hero is pre-eminently great, he/she is not perfect. The hero’s downfall is partially his/her own fault, the result of free choice, not of accidental means. The hero’s misfortune is not wholly deserved and the punishment exceeds the crime. The fall is not pure loss. And though it arouses solemn emotion, tragedy does not leave the audience in a state of depression. (VCC Lit Online) Using Aristotle’s definition of a tragic hero, we will show that Oedipus in Oedipus the King is in fact a tragic hero and how his decisions led to his downfall.…
