Problem: Who is Oedipus? What is he like as a king? Define the terms hubris and hamartia. How does Oedipus possess these characteristics? Why do you think he blinds himself? Is this the only semblance of agency (free will) that he has? How do the concepts of fate and free will manifest in Oedipus' life? Does he have any free will? Why does he leave Thebes? What does the plague represent?
