Oedipus !

           In these few pages, Oedipus is blind of his truth. As the readers we know that that the Oracle predicted that Oedipus would kill his father. So the father of Oedipus, King Liaus, sent him away to avoid their fate . As Oedipus grew in a different family, he stills ages to kill his father ... without knowing his father was the king of the town he would once be the king of.

           I feel that this dramatic irony is the core of this story. Every fact, and component of the story is based on the secrets within the story that the audience is aware of . Every twist and turn has some sort of affect on something else in the story and it has a ripple affect.

           The fact that Oedipus seems to have a strong disgust toward the killer of the towns king , is every amusing it personally. In my opinion I feel that if Oedipus knew he had recently killed a man, that he should have been able to connect the dots. Mostly likely I feel this way, because I know the truth. Being that this story has so much dramatic irony, I am not sure.

    Personally I feel know the truth, that the characters don't know , can blind the reader from exploring all meaning and emotions that can come of the true story . In this story I notice that the purpose of this story is to represent the power of fate, and how fate is inevitable.
