Oedipus is an amazing piece of literature that really catches the readers eye. I personally have never found this type of writing interesting. Although I have my doubts about Oedipus, it is still a well written piece. It seems as though throughout the story Oedipus is constantly struggling and also stressed about something going on in his life. Oedipus I believe shows signs of grief and also disappointment towards himself for unintentionally killing his father. Due to Oedipus's suffering, I believed that he learned that life simply isn't fair and that things are going to happen at different times and its how you react at the moment is what separates the weak from the strong. Oedipus showed signs of weakness by basically giving up everything he had due to his accidental mistake. People make mistakes all the time and in Oedipus's case it was a big mistake, but ruining your life due to that mistake doesn't solve your problem, if anything it made Oedipus's problems and emotions worse. From my own experiences with dealing with suffering and other emotions Ive learned to be a stronger person and to also take everything one step at a time. What many people tend to do now is rush threw life and try to make everything happen the way they want it to but in reality life is planned out for you already, you just need to be patient and wait for your shinning moment.
