………………………………………………………………………….
A king in the city of Thebes was called as Oedipus. Impatient, stubborn and wants to find answers immediately. Good at blaming others however greedy to those who accuse him. A loyal, diligent, obedient brother-in-law that was tasked to do some investigation about the problem that was happening in their palace, he was Creon. Has a personality of being tolerant despite the cold attitude Oedipus is screening. A brave seer that was requested by the king, he was brave, honest and speaks only the truth, he is known for his name Tiresias. Even knowing that he could be penalized and be sentenced to death, he still notified Oedipus who the real demolisher of his kingdom was.
Living inside the palace was a female with great care towards her king and family. She is Iocasta, the queen of Oedipus. Creon, who was her brother have been completely loyal with his words and deeds to Oedipus. However, Oedipus doubts about it. Making them feel uncomfortable in certain issues.
Continent of Europe that is a part of Greece, it happened in the city of Thebes and Corinth where I supposed it took place in 19th t 20th century, wherein Shakespeare language already existed. Using it as a basis, I made it as a source that it happened during the era of Shakespeare.
Creon informed Oedipus that Polybus (52) told him that if they will not do something about the contaminated crisis, their kingdom will no longer attained peace and will befall towards success. However, the hindrance of solving this was a man they cannot figure out who. Knowing this he spread the news to look for whoever can tell him answers. Frightened, more than surprise, Tiresias gave him a puzzle advice. (Verse 550, 60). Annoyed, outraged, he almost ordered his man to kill the seer with thoughts lurking around his head that Creon was behind all of this. Creon, who denies the charge as soon as he heard the information, immediately finds Oedipus and the two busted out their own principles (V. 150, 66). In the end, Oedipus’ question was finally solved coming up with a solution wherein he ordered Creon to help him with it, taking everything he had worked hard for (V. I 440, 98).
When Iocasta talked about things to Oedipus that was only the moment when he had begin thinking of the real scenario (V. 750, 72). With that, he knew that he was destined to kill his father, marry his mother. To sum it all up, he was the monster of his own fantasy. He was the main pollution of everything.
A true man can handle situations as long as he is dignified and determined on where he stands. The dilemma concerning about the people and the kingdom itself, man can find a way to deal with it. Face the reality. Sacrifice. To discuss it with his family and let them know that it was his fate that he must finish of.
If I would be given a chance to come up with another ending, I liked it to be a happy one. I want Oedipus to return back to his family right after he had suffered and paid for what he had done unintentionally. I want Iocasta to help her husband recover and once more rejoice the people of Thebes and their castle once and for all. As for Creon, I want him to develop and enhance his skills and relationship towards Oedipus.
