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.

How do you summarize the conversation between Oedipus and the chorus leader in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That it is better for him not to have been born and known by anyone and if he lived to die rather than be blind is a way of summarizing the conversation between Oedipus the chorus leader in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus leader meets disgraced Theban King Oedipus stumbling outside the palace. He says that he wishes that Oedipus never had been born or that he had died as his parents planned. He states that Oedipus never should have chosen blind exile over immediate death.
