Oedipus

There is nothing wrong with Oedipus committing into searching who killed the

King Laius. Oedipus behave as the king and it was the best thing to do to show his

authority to his population. As story goes, the purpose to search the murder changes.

Oedipus ignoring each advises that warn him about risk to know the truth have gradually

become selfish. At the end, everything is uncovered, letting Oedipus be ruined. The

problem is the King losing his publicity and being so selfish.

I assume that the author Sophocles attempted to describe the essence of

philosophy by providing the symbolized character seeking the truth as philosophers do.

What the philosophers study about is to define us human being because philosophers

always mention that destination of study is nothing but studying ourselves. As Oedipus

study categorized into philosophy will finally reach to ego's advantage. Sophocles
