I Wonder
I would like to see into the mind of Oedipus right after he found out his beloved wife was his mother. I wonder what he would be feeling as a result of this. Would he feel like a failure because he could not escape the oracle. Or would he feel foolish that he did not recognize his own mother, and went as far as to marry her and have children with her with out seeing their primary relation. I also wonder if he felt remorse for killing his father, and if so what was the motives behind his remorse. Did he feel bad that he killed someone as biologically close to him as his father, or did he feel bad because of what the murder represents. Does Oedipus feel bad for his children because of their newfound lowered status or because of the emotional pain he caused them with his actions. I wonder, I think most of all, if he would admit to the true answers of these questions, or would he tell everyone what he thinks they would want to hear.
