One thought on “Welcome to Week 3”
From my point of view, an timeless human experience or behavior in Oedipus the king is the fake idea that they bring to life is that the physical relationship between mother and son which is a big taboo in society and how affected them. The mother is the first woman a man loves and the feelings are repressed to ensure survival in the house of the powerful father. I also believe that the fact that Jocasta a mother of four killed herself shows another timeless behavior which reflects a big fall in her life and also the lack of responsibility that she has as a mother, not as a person.
