Jocasta does not believe in soothsayers because she considers their predictions to be unreliable and often misguided. Her skepticism is rooted in her own experiences, particularly with the prophecy that foretold her son's fate, which she believes was ultimately proven false. She views the idea of fate as something that can be outsmarted or avoided, reflecting her desire to control her own destiny and dismiss the power of prophecy. This disbelief highlights her tragic misunderstanding of the inevitability of fate in the story of Oedipus.
