      Everything is clear, not imposed by fate!

      Everything is clear, not imposed by fate!

      The root of the tragedy is the fear of prophecy. If the Queen had taken a skeptical attitude towards the prophecy, she would not have been eroded by a huge sense of fear to make the decision to kill her son. However, given the background of the time and the unshakable extent of religious beliefs, this kind of prophecy seems like the eye of the sky. Make them unbelievable! This seems to explain the inevitability of fate and the existence of the...

      Divinity or Oedipus?

      "Oedipus" is so well known that it can almost be equated with the word "mother's plot". Freud did not think that his theory based on sexual struggle could also promote people's understanding. Because modern people are so rich and convenient, they can arbitrarily choose what they need from classical myths and legends, and they don't need to care about the rest. Was Oedipus merely a mother-in-law? I think the world should not be made up of only two different sex organs! The greatness of Oedipus...

      Can we escape fate?

      His son will kill his father and mother, the prophet foretold. However, no matter how Corinthus evaded, the oracle was quietly fulfilled.

      Can we escape fate?

      From a young age, I was indoctrinated to want to hold fate by the throat like Beethoven, I was taught knowledge to change fate, and I was told that fate is in my own hands. is this real? Can we change those fates in the dark?

      It is said that this is an era of belief in science, and we must eradicate ignorance...

      evil in return

      I found this film because Hegel cited it as a material for analysis many times in the chapter on ethics and legal system. This film is only a paragraph in the tragedy of Oedipus, and the story of Antigone in the back is closer to the ethics and law.
        
      Oedipus was abandoned by his biological parents at birth, and his biological parents also confessed that those who abandoned him killed him. Fortunately, the man was sympathetic and did not do anything. It should be said that the...
