Oedipus faced many conflicts throughout the plays, all of which traced back to his first mistake of blaming everyone except for himself. In my project, I chose to portray this main conflict and the inclusion of the id, ego, and superego within Oedipus' thoughts. Since the play takes place in an older time and many of the torture devices used were medieval torture devices, I represented Oedipus' mental fight with a torture rack as the central part.

is also shown gleefully beating up protestors before commenting that society as whole is a joke. There is no moral compass that guides The Comedian as he chooses to act in any way that benefits him. Rorschach says of The Comedian, “he saw the true face of the twentieth century and chose to become a reflection of it, a parody of it.” He chooses whatever path gives him the most fulfillment and pleasure, in total disregard to how it affects…
