For the first time I read this text of Oedipus Rex, I found it kind of boring whereas the beginning part of the drama is quite slow in the mood. However, later on, it is interesting to stay with the flow of the story due to the part when Oedipus is in dilemma of life and inner conflict of own. Maybe this is what has destined to a wise person like him. God is testing him as though he is an intelligent leader. He is the one who solved the riddle of Sphinx, as a king, he gives light and guidance to his people until the time he tries to fix everything which is discovered. There is no one perfect in this world. Oedipus could not even deny his faith of killing his own father and get married to his mother although he had tried hard to avoid. This drama conveys lots of messages linked to one’s life and fortune.
