PART UNO


Well, looking over the play I personally think that he had a choice to play it safe or make decisions that would keep him from killing anyone. I can see how people would say “Oh but fate made him kill his father!” and “wouldn’t you want to marry a queen and have children too!” but I disagree. No matter how pleasurable it and convenient it was to marry a queen and step into the last kings shoes, so to speak, he should not have had sex and married anyone. In all these stories the man with a bad fate marries and the wife ends up killing him or severe damage/vise versa. Even at the last minute he says “ I do have some hope left, at least enough
to wait for the man we’ve summoned from the fields.” but he never even thought that that man he killed on the road was his real father? And the binded rope around his legs. Wouldn’t any man capable of solving a muse’s riddle have a little curiosity why his legs were weak and had scars? Anyway he had the freewill of decision making and he chose the wrong path. If he avoided all of humanity for so long why stop now? Well it is nonsense to stop but he chose to stop wandering and start getting a family going with a woman around fifteen to twenty five years older than himself. My point was that fate may have some control in this story, but he had the power to alter fate and this crazy tragedy to a way that did not involve him killing his father or marrying his mother and having children that were also brothers and sisters. Well its only a story. So... oh! Then that means he has no control but in real life fate does not decide everything.

PART 2


If you’re to rule
as you are doing now, it’s better to be king
in a land of men than in a desert.
An empty ship or city wall is nothing
if no men share your life together there.
this clearly state the foreshadowing that the hero must change or else he will be king of men “In a desert”.

What is sought
is found, but what is overlooked escapes.
Just a cool quote.

Let us get up, children. For this man
has willingly declared just what we came for.
And may Phoebus, who sent this oracle,
come as our saviour and end our sickness.

This is saying that Phoebus will come but the whole savior thing is yet to be seen. Its like seeing a movie then in the middle they say “hopefully he (hero’s name) will come” then you want to see if he does. Its like a clifhanger
