What does the servant report as Oedipus' explanation for his self-mutilation in 'Oedipus Rex'?

It is to no longer see an incestuous relationship that the servant reports as Oedipus' explanation for his self-mutilation in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the servant exits from the palace to inform the chorus of the goings-on inside. He indicates that disgraced Theban King Oedipus now is blind. He states that Oedipus announces his determination never to see the incestuous mess of his marriage and plunges his wife's brooches deep into both eyes.


What is a modern 'Oedipus Rex'?

"Buried Child" by Sam Shepard (b. November 5, 1943) and "Desire under the Elms" by Eugene O'Neill (October 16, 1888 - November 27, 1953) are modern equivalents of "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, all three plays deal with an incestuous relationship that produces children. In the case of "Buried Child" and "Oedipus Rex," the incestuous relationship develops between a mother and her son. In "Desire under the Elms," the incest happens between a stepmother and her son.
