Louis was the only boy from his tribe in Wayne College. He was only a forty-five minutes drive away from his family, but today that was not good enough for him. Louis stood on the driveway with a ceramic container full of oatmeal raisin cookies. His mother had silently cried throughout the journey holding on to her only son's hand. He could drive home for his mother's cooking every day, and the possibility did not console him either. "It is time to break out of your comfort zone, son," his father had advised Louis while packing for college. "But always remember who you are."
The realization that now he needed to form his own identity outside of his tribe hit him like a tsunami wave. There were no kids with black hair as far as Louis' eyes could see across the parking lot. The dorm building stood tall and gigantic like a cop about to hand a speeding ticket. "Hau," Louis greeted his soon to be home in Lakota tongue before he stepped inside.

What is the significance of the above statement in relation to the play’s conclusion? oedipus treats his inferiors poorly but ultimately grants them the same respect he grants to nobility. while teiresias appears to be mocking oedipus, the real message is one of warning about the forces working against the king. oedipus earns great fame for answering the riddle of the sphinx but ultimately loses his crown to a common man. just as oedipus is unable to conceive that he has done wrong in the past, he is unable to imagine that his enviable position is impermanent.
