Some of the timeless human experience and behaviors that I find in the reading of Oedipus the King, is the struggle for finding the truth about his identity and his past, but once Oedipus finds out the reality he just cannot believe it and is in a state of shock.Another timeless human experience or behaviour that I found in the reading was his desire for keeping his power and protecting his people from the plague.Another timeless human experience or behaviour that I found in the reading was that Oedipus started taking taking responsibility for his actions and mistakes and realized that he would have to face all the problems that are associated with it. Another timeless human experience or behavior that i found in the reading was that Oedipus realized that he would have to marry his mother after killing his father, and there is no way to stop this from happening.
