Although bleak, the story of Oedipus could be the story of any of us. Yes, everyone could capitulate to a foreboding future, for it is out of our hands, just as it was out of his. Even before he could speak there was prophecy of what he would come to do. He unknowingly killed his father, only to learn about it twenty years later.
