Oedipus comic #2:The fall

Oedipus The King Comic Strip Episode #2

The Fall

Response:

I feel empathetic towards Oedipus after reading the quote, because of the enormity of the responsibility he carries. I believe that this was Sophocles’ intention, with the repeating of death that really hammers in sorrowful and bleak visions that dramatically shape the audience's opinions. This get's people like myself thinking more about the problem at hand, inevitable feeling slight empathy for Oedipus' misery. This is an extremely important part of the play, a beginning of an end, which is why i felt compiled to represent this specific scene with a comic.
