How are the detective novel and the play 'Oedipus' different?
A detective novel has as its theme the story of a mystery. That mystery usually involves a crime whose perpetrator needs to be identified by a detective. The detective does a lot of leg work to obtain information that isn't readily available.The preceding information may be applicable to the play 'Oedipus Rex'. For example, Theban King Creon, Theban King Laius' servant, and Teiresias the blind prophet essentially function as detectives. They all do leg work to gather and share information to solve the mysteries of the city's plague, the city's pollution, and the city's unsolved murder of Laius.So there are quite a few points in common between the detective novel and the play 'Oedipus Rex'. But one difference is in the availability of the information. The main crime to solve is the murder. Information on that crime is readily available. All that's needed is to send for Laius' servant, who is the sole survivor of an attack that claims the lives of everyone else in the royal party.But there's another crime and another mystery to solve. The other crime is the unknown nature of Theban King Oedipus' marriage to Theban Queen Jocasta. The other mystery is the unknown identity of Oedipus as Jocasta and Laius' son.
