“poetry is a higher form than history.”
What human behaviors have you witnessed in your own life that you see in Oedipus the King? Be as specific as possible in your answer.
In my life, the closest human behavior I’ve witnessed that relates to Oedipus the King is the sense of wisdom, when I was socializing with a group of astronomers and astronauts that discussed topics of math applications in space, physics, and exploration outside of earth. Which brought an admiration in their knowledge and proactiveness in their career. Similar to Oedipus being a wise man to it’s people in his kingdom seeking his knowledge in certain events, which caused his people to be astonished by him.

Jesus, what this prompt really asks is about behaviors, not about qualities people might possess. What kind of behaviors do the characters in the play exhibit that seem to be timeless and universal?
