He proclaims, “I curse myself as well… if by any chance he proves to be on intimate of our household.” This shows how Oedipus’…

    corrupted by the slave trade and those who profited from it. The oracle of Arochukwu became connected with the slave traders, in exchange for a portion of the wealth resulting from the sales the traders made.

    Fate vs. Free Will Many believe that fate is what will control a person’s destiny and once it is set up for them, there’s no changing it, but others believe that free will has also a big part to rewrite a person's destiny.

    • 909 Words
    • 4 Pages

    In my opinion, I find Oedipus extremely arrogant. Oedipus called Teiresias a liar and even accused him of working with someone who sought Oedipus to become an exile.
