Iokaste Committeed Suicide In Edgar Allan Poe's Story
At the beginning of the story my opinion of Iokaste is that she is a loyal and good wife. I can see why Iokaste committed suicide and I can understand how devastating the news of her husband being her son was. I can only imagine the emotions that Iokaste was going through and because of this I think that she did what she thought was best for herself. In some ways think she did her children a favor by committing suicide because now her children won’t have to grow up hearing people talk badly about their mother but on the other hand she left them to fend for themselves, which I think no mother should do to her children.
