Intrusion is defined as “a pushing, thrusting, or forcing in.” Every play in existence has an intrusion in it. Intrusions are what help the play along and can start conflict or end it. Oedipus for example has tons of intrusions! One of the first one’s being Oedipus himself! At the beginning of the play all the Chorus is at the foot of the palace, near the memorial for Apollo. They are all seated there, but the scene does not tell the audience why at first. Oedipus intrudes by coming out of the palace and says “My children, new-sprung race of old Cadmus, why do you sit at my shrines?” Then the Priest stands up and approaches Oedipus, and explains to him why the Chorus is all there. This sparks the conflict of the plague, Chorus sits by the Apollo shrine, Oedipus asks why, and he is told it is because they all want a cure or a sign of how to cure the plague torturing Cadmus. It is the first and one of the most important intrusions in the play.

He trains them, strengthening their skill and power. He shows his true leadership, becoming a sort of teacher to them. When they arrive at Knossos, he tries to convince King Minos to let the tributes go. He is not only thinking for himself, but for his people. Minos refuses, but Theseus is still set on fighting the bull, not for the glory now, but so others will not have to be killed. His mindset has practically switched, instead of being self-pitying, he is now selfless. Theseus successfully slays the Minotaur, and takes his tributes and the two of Minos’ daughters home. He is so happy, “drunk with strength and joy,” that he forgets a promise he made to his father. When he was leaving Athens, he swore that if he killed the beast and made it back alive, he would change his sail from black cloth to white. Theseus forgets to change the black sail, and his father, under the assumption that Theseus is dad, jumps off a cliff, killing himself. This makes Theseus the king, and he unites many City-states in Greece, and eventually takes King Minos’s kingdom as well. He rules as a fair and wise king, and many people look up to and respect
