16)ls Oedipus an innocent victim of an unjust fate or does he bear some responsibility in the outcome of his life? Is his fate unavoidable or does he
make it happen through his own choices? Could he have changed the fate
described in the prophecies? How?

(hope this helps can I pls have brainlist (crown)☺️)

Explanation:

In Oedipus Rex, Oedipus is a victim of fate since it would have been impossible for him to prevent the gods' planned fate. However, it might be argued that when Oedipus murders Laius, he is a victim of his own deeds since he succumbs to his own hubris.

Oedipus had no choice except to accept his fate. As Tiresias deduces, the truth has come to him through Apollo, the deity he worships. Tiresias claims that Oedipus is the one who ought to be punished for Thebes' troubles.

Oedipus is not guilty, he is innocent! Sophocles' play "Oedipus the King" is a drama depicting Oedipus' life. It was composed about 429 B.C. Oedipus was cursed with the prophecy that he would marry his mother and murder his father. Oedipus is blameless since he was unaware of his true parents' identities.

reading poetry is challenging when you don't have or very little of social context and culture schema.

solution: read the introduction, the norm, or even explaination if you still dont get it.
