Whom do Oedipus and Jocasta send for?

King Oedipus and Queen Jocasta of Thebes send for the sole survivor of the fatal attack on Theban King Laius. The individual in question has known the Queen for a long time. He worked at first as a shepherd near the palace of Thebes, and then as a trusted servant within the palace. After the attack, he received the Queen's permission to go back to his former life as a shepherd.


Which choices does Jocasta make in 'Oedipus Rex'?

Agree to marry a man young enough to be her son, break up a fight in the royal household, help search for her first husband's killer, send for the surviving eyewitness to that killing, share the news of the Corinthian messenger, and take her life when she cannot stop Oedipus' uncomfortable questions are the choices that Jocasta makes in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta marries the much younger Oedipus even though the killing of her first husband, King Laius, is left inadequately investigated and unatoned by cleansing rituals. Years later, the royal household must identify and punish the guilty in that murder if a pestilence is to be stopped before all Thebes is wiped out. Jocasta tries to smooth things over when tempers flare between her husband and Creon, her brother and the couple's royal colleague. Additionally, she tries to help Oedipus' investigations by sharing what she knows and summoning the surviving eyewitness to Laius' death. But things take an unexpected turn when a messenger tells Jocasta of the death of Corinthian King Polybus, and Oedipus learns that he is not that monarch's biological son. When Jocasta cannot stop Oedipus' questions about his true parentage, she hangs herself.


What is an example of rising action leading to the climax of Oedipus Rex?

Jocasta tells Oedipus that Laius was killed by robbers at a crossroads. Oedipus accuses Creon of plotting to take his place as king. Oedipus decides to send for Teiresias. Oedipus is crowned king of Thebes and marries Jocasta. Oedipus kills Laius at a crossroads. Oedipus accuses Creon of plotting to take his place as king.


Whom does Creon advise Oedipus to send for in 'Oedipus Rex'?

It is no one that Creon advises Oedipus to send for in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, it is the chorus leader who advises Theban King Oedipus to send for Teiresias the blind prophet. It is Oedipus who advises Queen Jocasta to send for the Theban shepherd. Creon offers no such advice, but does suggest that Oedipus go consult with the Delphic oracle himself.


What favor does Oedipus ask of Jocasta in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That she send for the sole eyewitness to Laius' murder is the favor that Oedipus asks of Jocasta in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus can end the pestilence ravaging Thebes only by identifying and punishing the guilty in the long unsolved murder of Laius, his royal predecessor and his wife's first husband. Based on information from Queen Jocasta about the crime's location, Oedipus fears that he is Laius' killer. At the same time, based on information about the number of killers, Oedipus suspects that he may not be that killer since his long ago crime is carried out alone. He therefore asks Jocasta if the sole survivor of the attack on Laius and his five-member escort party can be brought to the palace for questioning.
