How is the main conflict resolved at the end of 'Oedipus at Colonus'?
It is through Oedipus' death at the prophesied location and in the prophesied way that the main conflict is resolved at the end of "Oedipus at Colonus" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, disgraced Theban King Oedipus comes to a grove that is sacred to the Furies of fate in an area near Colonus. He recognizes it as the prophesied place of his death. King Creon struggles to have Oedipus' death and burial take place near Thebes. It turns out that wherever Oedipus dies is prophesied to bring luck to the surrounding area and peoples. The death works out in the prophesied place and manner when Athenian King Theseus prevails as Oedipus' sole escort to a secret place of death that brings luck to Athens.
What are the argument and the resolution of Oedipus' and Jocasta's argument about oracles in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That they may not be true but they in fact are is the respective argument and resolution of Oedipus' and Jocasta's argument about oracles in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus is worried about the Delphic oracle's prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother. His wife, Queen Jocasta, mentions that oracles and prophets are not gods and therefore make mistakes. The royal couple thinks that the issue is resolved with the example of the inaccurate prophecy about King Laius' death by his own son and the evidence of Oedipus' presumed father King Polybus' death from illness and old age. But the resolution turns out to be that Laius is killed by his biological son Oedipus, who is Polybus' adopted or foster son.

Freud's interpretation of Oedipus.?
Freud described Oedipus complex as an aspect of gender development in boys. The boy is said to lust after his mother, and thus see his father as a rival. He fears his father finding out and cutting off his penis. This is resolved by him identifying with his father and so becoming more able to find a mate. All these thought processes are said to be subconscious.
