What character traits of Sophocles are seen in 'Oedipus Rex'?
The foremost character traits that Sophocles [496 B.C.E.* - 406 B.C.E.] shows in 'Oedipus Rex' are his competitiveness and his perfectionism. During his lifetime, he participated in 30 literary competitions. He was competitive, and placed first in 24 competitions. In each of the remaining six, he placed a close second.Plays about Thebes and Troy tended to sit well with theater going audiences in ancient Greece. Specifically, Aeschylus [c. 525/524 B.C.E. - 456/455 B.C.E.] had received strong career boosts through his Theban themed plays on the Oedipus myth. So Sophocles knew a winning story when he saw it.And Sophocles played to win. He was the son of Sophillus, a highly successful armor manufacturer. So Sophocles was used to competition, and to expecting and having the best and the most expensive of things.Because of that competitiveness, Sophocles was a perfectionist. He had the best education and training that all of his family's substantial wealth could provide. So he had the means to do his best, and he did so. As with the competitiveness, perhaps the perfectionism never was seen more clearly than in his writing.
