How fully does Oedipus accept responsibility for what he does in 'Oedipus Rex'?
It is not at all fully that Oedipus accepts responsibility for what he does in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus ends up having to step down as king of Thebes. He is the killer of his father and sovereign as well as the husband of his own mother. He maintains that Apollo the god of prophecy is responsible for Oedipus' criminal acts and immoral behavior. He says that he is responsible only for blinding himself.
Should Oedipus be acquitted or punished in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Acquitted is what the judgment should be regarding Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, disgraced Theban King Oedipus is accused of criminal acts and immoral behavior. The criminal acts refer to his killing of five individuals in self-defense. The immoral behavior relates to his marrying and having children with his own mother. But he should be acquitted because he lacks intent and motive in that both deeds are committed without knowing that he is killing his father and sovereign and that he is marrying his mother.

What are four examples of how Oedipus acts as a good king in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Defeating the Sphinx, meeting with his people, sending Creon to Delphi and solving Laius' death are four examples of how Oedipus acts as a good king in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus acts to end the Sphinx's reign of terror when he solves the riddle. He is accessible to his people, who know that he will meet with them when they gather outside the main entrance to the Theban royal palace. He knows of the pestilence and sends Creon, his brother-in-law and royal colleague, to consult with the Delphic oracle as to causes and solutions. He persists in investigating King Laius' murder even though he becomes a prime suspect.
Who is responsible for Oedipus' tragedy in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Oedipus himself as well as those who know of his true identity and keep silent are responsible for Oedipus' tragedy in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus is responsible for his downfall because of his murderous acts, passionate outbursts and secretive ways. But he operates at a disadvantage because of his mistaken self-image. Those who have but do not share information as to his true self-identity therefore share in the blame.
What does Oedipus do that makes him an immoral character in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That he marries his mother and has children by her are the immoral acts of Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, immorality refers to living life in such a way as to offend society. It runs counter to what is considered acceptable and decent in polite company. Oedipus therefore is immoral in becoming involved with his own mother and having children with her and criminal in killing his father.
How does Oedipus explain his ordeal and present circumstances to the chorus in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That it is Apollo who ruins his life but that it is he himself who ruins his sight is the way in which Oedipus explains his ordeal and present circumstances in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus loses his friends, home, jobs and reputation for criminal acts and immoral behavior. He objects to the preceding happening to him since he indeed kills his father and marries his mother, but in ignorance of his or their true identities. Oedipus observes that his criminal acts and immoral behavior result from Apollo's relentless carrying out of the prophesied fate of the Furies. At the same time, he states that his blindness is the sole act that throws him into misery for which he alone is responsible.
