When I think of the story of “Oedipus the King”, by Aristotle is clear to me that there is a true sense of justice against all odds being stacked against him. A person trying to outrun or avoid what they think is an ill fate is timeless. Whether it be a child being told what they will do for a living or who they will marry. Those that have fled their country of birth to another for the freedom of escaping their fate if they stayed. Another could be someone that thought they were doing the right thing like the shepherd that took Oedipus away only to find out they did a terrible wrong in doing so. Many a person has tried to do what they thought was right only to have it bite them back at the end of things. Lastly just like any good parent regardless of the bad things that they have done or that have happened to them, the only thing Oedipus cared about at the end was not himself but for his children.
