Comparing oedipus

The Interplay between Human Knowledge and Suffering Shiyun Zhu In The Oresteia and Oedipus the King, there are a lot of issues that deal with knowledge and suffering. In the two books, knowledge can be defined as intelligence, either the innate intellect or the intelligence gained afterwards. In The Oresteia, Clytemnestra suffers from the death of her daughter, Iphigenia, and then she is forced to learn how to design a wise and cunning plan to kill her husband due to her grief and anger. Although

I should've died that night! Every time I even think about that night, a wave regret washes over me as I too should be dead. It wasn't fair that I got to live and not her; each day is like torture to me. The demon had cut me from her womb and fed me it's demon blood helping me to survive. I have the blood of that thing which killed my mother coursing through my veins and it kills me. I haven't seen her beautiful face, heard her sweet voice or felt her soft hands on my skin, and would image what her

His biggest weakness is his inability to connect to others. He often sees this as a good thing, but his inability to form meaningful relationships with the majority of people can sometimes cause issues when closeness and connection are needed. He fakes it and many believe him, but there are those who will be able to pick up on the fact that he wears a very carefully crafted 'person suit'. He has a temper and cannot abide rudeness, but he almost always waits and bides his time to exact revenge. That

I think in the Story Lather and Nothing Else, the barber did the right thing of not killing the Captain. Firstly, that’s what he genuinely wanted to do, as, throughout the story, his inner conscious kept telling him not to kill the captain. “Does he deserve it? No, hell no! No one deserves to be the sacrifice that turns other people into murderers.” I think that the inner conscious always keeps showing the person what they truly believe in. In this case, the barber firmly believed the fact that

The second season of Daredevil may have been about Matt Murdock’s (Charlie Cox) struggle to do what is right while keeping Hell’s Kitchen safe, but there is little doubt that it was Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle that towered over the Netflix show. But will The Punisher return in Season 3? Bernthal has just confirmed that although he doesn’t know how Frank will return, The Punisher is definitely in his “bones!” Bernthal spoke to Complex, where he revealed that he is still unsure whether The Punisher

searched out his past, Oedipus met his downfall, unable to accept how the prophecy came true in the end. This prophecy stated that Laius, the king of Thebes, would have a son who would kill his own father and marry his own mother. When Oedipus realized that he had killed his father, Laius, and married his mother, Jocasta, he created the consequences of his actions. The fatal flaw that orchestrated his downfall was hubris, which then resulted in being brash and stubborn. Oedipus was prideful of being

Oedipus the hero or the victim? A god or delusional man? These are questions that goes through my mind when reading Oedipus, the King. To me, he is a victim of fate; having the gods challenging his every move and getting him to do what they planned for him. It seems like his fate of murdering his father and marrying his mother was set and stoned. Oedipus have the thought of being one of the gods himself, but he is a mortal man who may have a heart of gold. Oedipus seems to enjoying helping the people

mother, Oedipus thought he could outsmart the prophecy by running away from his family in Corinth. As he ruled Thebes with his wife, his arrogance and overconfidence reinforced this belief, thus furthering his complacent demeanor. When the new king discovered that the mother of his children was also his mother, he suffered the terrible consequences and realized that he was one to carry out his own curse. Because the augury, seen by Apollo before Oedipus was even born, correlated to how Oedipus will

There are moments in our lives when we have to make decisions which affect other people. Bob is in that position and he has to choose whether to euthanize David as he is asked to or to try to save him. I strongly believe that Bob is not justified in his act of taking his friend’s life because both of them are in a vulnerable situation where they are not thinking clearly and they make rushed and unsure decisions, also there is a big chance of an alternative solution they are not considering of.
