Blog Post #2-Having Been Exiled From Thebes..

Now that I have finished reading Oedipus Rex, the question has been posed as to what I have walked away from it with. Well, I like to think that I have "walked away" with a better understanding of the human psyche and some of its more primal instincts. I also feel that question of free will verses fate is one that must be answered independently. While Oedipus did everything he could to prevent the fates from having any power over him, in the end what he thought was free will was just fate. I feel that, perhaps, our ignorance to our fate is what gives us our free will.
