When Aristotle writes that “poetry is a higher form than history.” to me means that poetry gives you a better understanding of history and explains the experiences that have happened and others have gone through. The timeless human experiences and behaviors that I notice in the reading Oediupus The King is that you notice a lot of different problems going on at once in the reading as it begins with Oedipus killing his own father then end up marrying his own mother who he has no idea is his mother till it later is revealed to him then it continues on to Oedipus accusing Creon for Laius’s death, so all at one you start to notice the amount of situations these characters deal with especially amongst each other when they do not really have true evidence on why some of them have problems with each other, for example Oedipus is just making his own claim that Creon killed Laius but he doesn’t have any true evidence to really support that Creon is the reason to the killing.
