Does fate or his own decisions explain what happens to Oedipus?
It's the decisions that explain what happens to Theban King Oedipus. For example, he's forewarned that he will kill his own father and marry his own mother. He decides to take action against his fate by fleeing what he thinks are his biological parents, Corinthian King Polybus and Corinthian Queen Merope.But he essentially decides not to keep up his guard. During his flight, he gets into a street brawl over a right-of-way. He decides to keep the fight going by striking back in self-defense. Unfortunately, his response is so strong, so violent that he kills the stranger, who unbeknownst to him is his biological father, Theban King Laius. It's Oedipus' decisionto respond in kind to an individual who's old enough to be his father.Oedipus also decides to accept the throne of Thebes. Once again, he decides not to keep up his guard. It's his decision to marry Theban Queen Jocasta, who's old enough to be his mother. And Jocasta indeed is Oedipus' mother.Additionally, Oedipus decides to issue a decree by which Laius' murderer is banished. He decides to say that the decree applies to everyone. In an example of foreshadowing, he decides that the decree is enforceable even and especially if he turns out to be the perpetrator. And he decides to allow for no mitigating factors, such as self-defense. Once again, it's Oedipus' decision not to be merciful and not to give indeterminate sentencing a chance.
Why does Oedipus want to discover the murderer of Laius?
To show respect to the Oracle at Apollo's Shrine is the reason why Theban King Oedipus wants to discover the murderer or murderers of his royal predecessor, Theban King Laius. The Oracle says that finding and punishing the perpetrator or perpetrators will end the pestilence that afflicts the Theban people and their livestock and harvests. Additionally, Oedipus decides that he needs to carry out the quest for his own self-protection. He suggests that otherwise what happens to one Theban king well may happen to another. He may be next in line on someone's assassination list.
Does Sophocles portray Oedipus as a puppet of fate or a man with free will?
Answer #1He portrays him as a puppet of fate. He does everything in his power after finding out about this prophesy to escape it. Somehow it still manages to come true.Answer #2Sophocles [496 B.C.E.-406 B.C.E.] portrays Theban King Oedipus as a man of free will who considers himself and therefore becomes a puppet of fate. For example, it's Oedipus who makes a critical decision upon hearing what he thinks are his biological parents described otherwise by a drunkard. It's Oedipus who decides to leave home without telling his parents, and find out what the Delphic Oracle has to say. It's Oedipus who decides not to go back home and tell the people whom he loves as parents of the non answer that the Oracle gives to his question. It's Oedipus who decides to respond in kind to the violence of a man similar to him in appearance and old enough to be his father. It's Oedipus who decides to marry a woman old enough to be his mother. It's Oedipus who decides to blind himself in response to finding dead Theban Queen Jocasta, who is his mother and his wife. And it's precisely at that point that Oedipus takes the final stand that his life is the fulfillment of a horrific fate that's beyond his control, and not the result of poor decision making
