Oedipus is the king of Thebes and the son of Iocasta and King Laius before he was born he was prophesizes to kill his father and marry his mother Iocasta. Iocasta is the mother of Oedipus and his queen he was former married with King Laius and he has a brother named Creon. Tiresias is the seer that Oedipus asked for help in order to solve the plague that the gods have given them. He has the ability to look into the future and make prophesy as he is give a gift by the god Apollo.
Oedipus is the son of Iocosta and when her husband died Oedipus became his wife.Iocosta is also the sister of Creon whom Oedipus despise. Because of Oedipus thinking Creon wants the kingdom and planning to over throne him.
The story was set on the kingdom of Thebes where in it is suffering on the plague and trying to find out who have killed the former king Laius. In the kingdom there current king is Oedipus as he have already married his mother Iocosta.
The conflict start before Oedipus was born Iocosta and Laius consulted a seer. It is said that when the child is born he will kill his father and marry his mother. The day Oedipus was born they ordered a servant to kill him unfortunately the servant cant kill the child and brought him to another kingdom where he wall adopted by their king and queen. Now as he grows up he wanted to escape the prophecy and left to travel as he was travelling he met a man in a carriage and had a disagreement causing Oedipus to kill them. Then Oedipus became the king of Thebes. Now the gods have forsaken the kingdom Thebes for their former king has not yet gotten justice for its killer still roam freely. The kingdom now suffer from a great plague and now they are asking their current king Oedipus to hunt the one responsible for Laius death. Oedipus seeks the seer Teiresias to know who is the killer. But Teiresias didn’t want to help Oedipus. Oedipus now threaten Teiresias and he told Oedipus that the killer was no other person but him.
The Climax is when Oedipus finds out that he was the one who killed Laius and that the phrophecy came true that he will kill his father and will marry his mother. For his blindness of reality that he blinded him self as he is blind for what had happened.
If I will make an alternate ending it will be that Creon will kill Oedipus for he is the traitor of Thebes and Iocosta will not kill her self but rather will become a seer like Teiresias and Creon his brother will become the new king but he will not marry Iocosta.
