The root of the tragedy is the fear of prophecy. If the Queen had taken a skeptical attitude towards the prophecy, she would not have been eroded by a huge sense of fear to make the decision to kill her son. However, given the background of the time and the unshakable extent of religious beliefs, this kind of prophecy seems like the eye of the sky. Make them unbelievable! This seems to explain the inevitability of fate and the existence of the law of causality. .
If Oedipus didn't tirelessly search for the truth, it might end up being a happy ending. As the prophet of the Holy Land of Apollo said, "If you don't want to be known, you don't exist, and if you want to be known, you exist."
As far as Oedipus is concerned, he is actually a person with strong self-esteem and a spirit of persistent inquiry into the truth. After being ridiculed and insulted by children in Collins, the factors that want to know the truth buried in the heart, desperately want to solve the doubts in the heart. He heard a terrible prophecy without getting an answer in the Holy Land of Apollo. One can imagine how painful it must have been for him with such a strong self-esteem. Because he could not face his parents in Corinth, he began to drift with fear and anxiety. . On the way, the team of his biological father happened to kill him on the spur of the moment because he couldn't stand being humiliated by Laios' pride. All the tragedy officially began. .
In the end, the suicide of his biological mother made him collapse and destroy his eyes for a while. Allow yourself to live in darkness forever.
His final ending truly fulfilled what the prophet Thalysses said, blind, flute...
As he said, it is sweet to keep the heart away from evil. In the end, he also let his life end where it started - a green grass is the most beautiful place for the soul! !
