At the beginning of the play, Thebes suffers from a plaque which is leaving the society barren.
Oedipus who is the King of Thebes sends his brother to Apollo’s house to ask the oracle to bring
the plaques to an end. He brings back good news that they will be cured. When Tiresias comes,
he seems to be reluctant with questions response and he warns Oedipus of questioning him much
as he did not know the answers. The king response by threatening him with death and at the end
of it all Tiresias tells him that the king himself is the killer. Oedipus dismisses the narratives he is
given that the union was illegal but Tiresias continues with his belief and insists that the killer is
As Creon enters he asks the people around whether what was said was true about him being
accused. As this unfolds Oedipus appears and charges on Creon with accusation of treason.
Jocasta and the chorus are begging Oedipus to be a person of an open mind but he seems to be
unwilling and is resentful and gives a chance to Creon. Long time ago the oracle had told Laius
that his son would kill him resulting to the giving away of their son as a shepherd in the hardship
areas so that he probably die with hunger. Laius was killed by a robber and not his own son and
this became a proof that the oracle was wrong. The story behind this deaths makes them troubled
When they were waiting for the witnesses to arrive, Jokasta asked Oedipus the reasons why
seemed to be troubled and the king tells her about the things that happened in the past. He says
that someone he met when he was young told him that he was not his father’s son and he went on
to ask his parents but they denied it. This still troubled him and he was yet to determine the truth
about his lineage. To add on that the oracle had told him that he was going to kill his father and
take his own mother as a wife. This are the types of prophesies that let Oedipus left his
The king is afraid that the stranger he had killed could be Laius. If this is true it means that
Oedipus will be banished from Thebes as a punishment to his actions. It was his wish that the
eye witnesses could say that robbers had killed him and not the king as it is. He is in prayers that
the witnesses could be his saviors and prevent him from being banished. Before long Jocasta is
heading to the palace and goes to the temple to pray. Before long there are news from Corinth
that Oedipus father was dead (Summaries, 2016, p. 228). This gave Jocasta a reason why he
didn’t believe in the oracle. Oedipus is happy about the news although he remains worried of the
rest of the prophecies that have been made by the oracle and the worst of it is that he would
marry his own mother. He is however advised to go back home and in any case the mother he
calls by the name is not his real mother and the dead man was not his real father anyway.
At the end of it the truth comes out and devastating. Oedipus is seen exiting into the palace after
messenger reveals that he had grabbed the sword and started searching for Jocasta with an aim to
kill him. When he enters her chamber she is found having hangered herself. He picks the gold
from her pockets and removes her eyes and blood oozes out from her blind eyes. Oedipus seeks
permission to leave the city but Creon is not willing to give the go ahead alone and seeks advice
from Apollo. The only punishment for Oedipus was to be banished and before he leaves he asked
