Reading Oedipus the King, I was struck by the timeless human experiences and behaviors it depicted. The play is a tragedy that follows the life of Oedipus, a man who unknowingly kills his father and marries his mother. Through this story, Sophocles explores the themes of fate, free will, and hubris. The idea of fate is a major theme in Oedipus the King. Oedipus is fated to kill his father and marry his mother, and despite his best efforts to avoid this, he is unable to escape his destiny. This idea of fate is a timeless human experience, as many of us feel that our lives are predetermined and that we are powerless to change our fate.The idea of free will is also explored in the play. Oedipus is determined to find out the truth about his past, and he is willing to take risks and make difficult decisions in order to do so. This idea of free will is a timeless human experience, as many of us feel that we have the power to shape our own destiny and make our own choices.

Stephon, I agree with you that the concept of fate is a timeless human experience. I believe that after reading your analysis, I gained a deeper comprehension of the various humanistic concepts that flow throughout the play.
Dasia, it is not enough to just agree with another person’s post. You need to expand on the conversation in a post of at least 75 words. See COURSE INFORMATION “How Discussion Boards Are Graded.”
