He says that in Sophocles’ play, Oedipus exhibits a stages in which the child desires the mother because of the connection through birth and infancy, and resents (even desires the murder of) the father. According to Freud, boys…

    According to Adade-Yeboah, Ahenkora, and Amankwah (2012), “Tragedy is of action and not character as Aristotle puts it” (p. 10). Therefore, Oedipus’ tragedy deals with his ignorance and not his character. Oedipus is ignorant in the fact that he does not realize he is committing patricide or incest (Adade-Yeboah et al., 2012, p. 11). Oedipus grows up knowing two opposite people that he thought were his parents, which leads to him killing his biological father and marrying his biological mother. Oedipus then goes on to search for his biological father’s killer and soon realizes that it was he himself who committed the atrocious acts toward his family. He came to this realization after it was revealed to him by an oracle. Originally, Oedipus believes that the man he originally kills is only just a shepherd, when in return it is his biological father. According to Greenburg (2012), “Oedipus has been told, and has come to believe, that at the end of his life and in death he will have the power to protect the city that has taken him and buried him” (p. 52). Oedipus maintains the belief that things will always be the way he knew them to be and he would be in charge of the city he knew and loved. He maintains this belief until an oracle reveals his misfortune. At first, Oedipus and his wife (biological mother) refuse to believe that what they were told is true. According to…

    "Oedipus the King" by Sophocles has been considered one of the greatest Greek tragedies. It is a Greek myth that may have been inspired by real events and people. With that thought in mind this play has indeed, help us get a better understanding of Aristotle's, a philosopher, thoughts of a Tragic Hero and Sigmund Freud's, a psychoanalytic theorist, thoughts on the affects of the same on our lives (especially male children and their psychological development). Both Aristotle and Sigmund Freud also belief that Oedipus was not in control of his actions, but in fact, was acting in a manner that was a part of his fate.…

    I saw Oedipus with likeable motives, but his choices purged my emotions for Oedipus. He craves knowledge until he is so disgusted that he sees Jocasta’s suicide and gouges out his own eyes. In the beginning, Oedipus was full of potential but destined to commit evil. The play spirals downwards as Oedipus learns more of his history. Oedipus the King is a moving tragedy. The play follows all concepts written in The Poetics concerning tragedy. The audience is brought to a holistic catharsis, a spiritual revelation, that will help he/she be honorable, more useful and responsible citizens. Like the sudden flip of the face-down card, the audience abruptly disregard their hope for Oedipus realizing his doomed…

    The story of Oedipus Tyrannus, otherwise known as Oedipus the King or Oedipus Rex, is an Athenian tragedy written by Sophocles; it tells the story of Oedipus, the king of Thebes who is plagued by a self-fulfilled prophecy in which he kills his father Laius and marries his own mother, Jocasta. Not only is it widely recognized as Sophocles’ greatest work, the story of Oedipus has lent its name to what is recognized in the psychological realm today as the Oedipus complex, in which a young child feels “complex emotions” relative to that of unconscious sexual desire toward the parent of the opposite sex. Oedipus as a leader, separate from his web of extremely strange familial encounters, is a point of contention. Oedipus’ role…

    As the children address Oedipus with remarks such as “You are not one of the immortal gods, we know; Yet we have come to you to make our prayer as to the man surest in mortal ways and wisest in the ways of God.” (1. Prologue. 35. 43.), the audience can understand Oedipus's role as king and the respect to his power, as with an irony on the fate bestowed upon our hero. As the fate of Oedipus is that of the tragic hero, Aristotle's descriptions of simple and complex plots within a tragedy lead to such “events that are fearful and pathetic" (Aristotle. 70). As Aristotle said that a tragedy should evoke two emotions: terror and pity, such that the audience is aroused with these feelings with the fate of Oedipus, but can relate and understand logically how such events took place.…

    Oedipus the King

    • 1315 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Sophocles is one of the best and most well-known ancient Greek tragedians. He influenced the development of drama especially by adding a third character and thereby reducing the importance of the chorus in the presentation of the plot. Even though he wrote 123 plays, he is mostly famous for his three plays concerning Oedipus and Antigone: these are often known as the Theban plays or The Oedipus Cycle. One of these plays is “Oedipus the King”, which will be discussed throughout this essay. In Oedipus the King, Oedipus learns, as the story unfolds, that he committed both patricide and incest. Sophocles’ use of dramatic irony emphasizes how limited human understanding is and the pain and suffering that is created due to misunderstandings. As time progresses, he slowly and powerlessly watches his world and everything he has known crumble before him. Now, the real question is whether or not he bears full responsibility for what is happening and for his past acts. In my opinion, Oedipus is indeed responsible to a great extent for his fate.…

    Dramatic Irony in Oedipus

    • 1702 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Dramatic irony is strewn throughout Oedipus, stemming from Oedipus’ vehement quest to find out Lauis’s murderer, and his fate that is foreseen by the seer Tiresias. In addition, Oedipus’s constant search for the truth, and his unwavering to ability to not heed to the warnings constantly given to him by Tiresias and Creon. Oedipus’ supposed “sight” in the play and his coexisting “blindness” are both inherent to the development of Oedipus throughout the play. Sight and blindness are important themes in the play Oedipus the King, in the scene where Tiresias talks with Oedipus sight is meant to represent knowledge and blindness ignorance, but at the end of the play when Oedipus cuts out his eyes, Sophocles gives the two themes an inverse relationship and sight is meant to represent ignorance and blindness knowledge.…

    Oedipus the King

    The Greek tragedy Oedipus the King, by Sophocles, was written to demonstrate the might of the gods, human fate is prearranged and that free will has a price. The gods power is evident throughout the story, particularly when people attempt to escape their fate; in the end man comes to discover that what the oracles predicts ultimately come to fruition. A fundamental theme of the Oedipus the King is the tension between free will and fate. While ones individual choices, such as Oedipus’s quest for his identity, are important, ultimately fate is responsible for Oedipus’s incest and several other climatic and desolate events of the play. Sophocles emphasizes the importance of fate and proposes the characters cannot bear the full responsibility for their actions. For instance, Oedipus cannot be entirely held accountable for, unknowingly, marrying his mother. Oedipus learns from the messenger that he is not the child of Polybus (Johnston, August 10, 2007)) but, Oedipus is in denial for he believes he is the son of Polybus. In lines 1030-1420 the truth is revealed, he is indeed the son of Jocasta.…

    Laertes And Ophelia Essay

    • 594 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The primary destruction of Laertes and Ophelia’s psychological success stems from their immense fixation on a degree of the Freudian complex: “the dysfunctional bond with a parent of the opposite sex that one does not outgrow in adulthood and that does not allow one to develop mature relationships with their peers” (Tyson 17). Thus, Laertes and Ophelia constantly suffer from being “driven, by desires, fears, needs, and conflicts of which they are unaware” and in this case, these issues come from the loss of direction and affection from their mother (Tyson 12). This piece of the general Oedipus fixation is more applicable to Laertes as his childhood distress comes from a significant member of the opposite sex in his life. Being separation from…

    Oedipus Rex Research Paper

    • 2415 Words
    • 10 Pages

    “Oedipus Rex” was a Greek Tragedy written by Sophocles in the fifth century BC. It was the first of a trilogy of plays surrounding the life of Oedipus. Sophocles wrote over 120 plays approximately 100 years before Aristotle even defined a tragedy and the tragic hero. Aristotle’s definition of a tragedy is “… an imitation of an action of high importance, complete and of some amplitude; in language enhanced by distinct and varying beauties; acted not narrated; by means of pity and fear effecting its purgation of these emotions” (Kennedy and Gioa 2010). According to Aristotle there were six elements to a tragedy: the plot, the character, the thought, the spectacle, the diction, and the music. He believed that “[t]he plot, then, is the first principle, and, as it were, the soul of a tragedy; character holds the second place” (Aristotle 1999). The character (tragic hero) being the second most important element of the tragedy, he must be of nobility, he is not infallible and his downfall is due to an error in judgment, and is capable of making his own choices and, most important, accepting the consequences for those choices. “Oedipus Rex” is not only a classic example of Aristotle’s definition of a tragic plot; Oedipus (the protagonist) has all the characteristics of a tragic hero. Oedipus is the son of a king and eventually becomes a King; his character is also that of a nobleman by possessing high moral virtues of determination and tenaciousness; these self-same traits of his moral character later becomes arrogance, pride, and pig-headedness that lead to his downfall; because of these choices, he accepts the consequences for his actions.…

    The thing that struck me about Oedipus was the changing emotions throughout the story. At the beginning of the story the overwhelming emotion is desolation and panic as the kingdom seems to be dyeing this turns to hope when they are provided with what seems to be a cure. They must find Laius's murderer to restore favor in the gods eyes. What follows is a sense of urgency as they try to right the wrong before all is lost. This pressure leads Oedipus to make some rash accusations against Tiresias and Creon which results in an angry dispute. However, after Jocasta calms the argument, the feeling of urgency is renewed as the wait for the shepard who holds the answer to not only who the murderer is but also who Oedipus' parents were. Once everything…
