How does Oedipus make amends for his crime in 'Oedipus Rex'?
It is by blinding himself that Oedipus makes amends for his crime in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus learns that he is his father's killer and his mother's husband. He knows that he must be executed or exiled for the former and that he will be an abomination for all time to gods and mortals because of the latter. He accepts his punishment and makes amends by blinding himself from the personal and professional mess for which he will be known forever more.
Is there a main message to the audience of 'Oedipus Rex'?
Yes, a main message of 'Oedipus Rex' is the need to talk the talk and walk the walk. Theban King Oedipus issues a harsh, punitive decree that he ends up having to carry out upon himself. He flatly states that the murderer of Theban King Laius, his father and royal predecessor, must be exiled. He doesn't allow for any defense or mitigating factors.Ironically, Oedipus therefore faces the severest punishment for the least severe degree of his particular kind of crime. Specifically, his murderous act isn't premeditated. He protects himself from violence and does so terminally in order to end a cycle of violent action and reaction before it can get started. But his punishment is as harsh as though he preconceives and initiates the bloodiest, most brutal of murders.

He punishes himself by blinding himself with the golden brooches of Queen Jocasta, his wife and mother.
