Many people try to escape reality to keep their innocence without realizing they’re one step closer into guilt. Oedipus’ fate was said that he would kill his father and marry his mother. Oedipus traveled to Thebes to get away from his fate since he did not know his real parents, he did what his fate said. “This is not strange. You will suffer it all twice over, remorse in pain, pain in remorse” (Sophocles 359). Choragos told Oedipus that what he has done will come back to you more than once. The guilt will come and go. We were all born innocent until we find ways to destroy it.
