Ok, so to be totally honest, i'm not quite sure i am getting the picture with this story. I can't help but to laugh when i started reading Oedipus the King... I know that sounds kind of wierd, but I just think its rather weird how the story goes. So apparently Oedipus killed his father and didn't know that he did? Or am i just getting this all wrong? He knew he did it but didn't know it was his father? Was it like he was brainwashed when he killed his father? For one minute it seems like he knew that he did kill his father, but then the next he sincerely didn't know.
Also, about Jocasta, she must have really been in denial because, how would a mother NOT recognize her own son? Why would she pretend she didn't know about all this? Unless she was hiding something or she honestly didn't know that Oedipus was her son, then i would have to agree and say she is in major denial and living in sin.
p.s I commented on Alexandra's post!
