Oedipus Rey And The Actions That Led To Great Conflicts

Oedipus Rey and the actions that led to great conflicts

Throughout time, actions have occurred that led to small conflicts, whether disputes between two subjects, families, peoples and countries, these problems are more due to misunderstandings, since several times people do not understand the real message or meaning that transmits both a phrase and an action that the author of that act wants us to interpret. This has caused that there is a fight between both parties, on the one hand the subject accused of having performed an action which has been misunderstood and on the other hand the subject who has made the accusation, who thinks that the act that has done the Another is against its ideologies or affects its moral integrity. These disputes can also be caused not simply by misunderstood phrases or actions, but this can also occur through envy which produces hatred towards others, certain specific people.

Envy is generally produced by belongings (properties, objects of both emotional and economic value and wealth) and by a social status (titles, recognitions and political positions) that certain people have, but others do not possess either due to lack of interest or by the conditions under which they prevent you from achieving or achieving something in particular. While hate is many times the result of envy, since by not being able to obtain something that the other possesses, people begin to detest that subject and when remembering it the only thing they think of it is its aspects that according to according to His criteria is bad for both society.

These actions of envy and hate towards someone in the long term produce that when they face that subject an argument arises or even a fight.

Sophocles The author of this literary work was born in Colono in 496 to. C, he died in Athens in 406 to. c. Sophocles were a tragicomedy writer, he was the author of works such as Antigone, Esquilo and Euripides, among the most prominent literary figures. Of all his writings are barely preserved seven. In his youth I participate in front of the choir that I celebrate the victory of the Salamina war. He actively participated in Athens’ policy in addition to being a strategist during the Santos War.

How hate and envy were one of the key points for the writing of literary work Oedipus Rey?

"It seems to us to guess that the words of this and yours Oedipus, have been said by cholera impulses". (Page 11)

The accusations without a good argument may have been originated by misunderstanding, this can be intuit, since the accuser when refuting with few tests or reliable indications of what the accused did is true can be appreciated does not have great knowledge of the subject. This happens to Oedipus when Little Is The death of Layo and the only proof that Oedipus has to be the murderer is that Tiresias himself is a seer and everything that is true. The Oedipus listening to his argument thinks that both thick and his brother -in -law Creon are envious of all the things he has (such as a great kingdom, wealth and a family) so they think they try to make a plan to usurp their throne to the kingdom, which consists in making all his kingdom think that he gives is true cause of the death of the former emperor of that place. Sophocles, like Oedipus, were people who throughout his life got great achievements and in turn could have people who envied those achievements, in the case of Sophocles he was a participant in the soundtrack that tone in the triumph of the war Salamina, I win several tragicomedy and active participants in the policy of your city Athens which could be a reason why people would send their lives, which served as inspiration when creating her work.

"The damage reported by this accusation is not unimportant, but very serious, if I will be evil in the city, and evil before you and friends" (page 13)

The discussions that occur due to an undefined purpose end up causing problems, not simply in the relationship of the two subjects but also end up knowing things that would not have been good to know them as acts that unconsciously had bad repercussions or aspects of oneself that You had never met or on the contrary that they know but prefer to hide it. In the case of Oedipus, his destiny had been It is by words of another person who denied that his statement was correct, because Oedipus thought that he had only said it for the hatred that you have towards him, and thus cause a rebellion in the kingdom of Oedipus to seize his wealth. Sophocles The author of this work could have been based to carry out this writing on the hatred that other people would possibly have like the hatred that I can have received for the other contestants who participated in the various tragicomedy competitions in which Sophocles won or perhaps The hatred that his son had that what was accused of in court for being very controlling and this being an adult.

To conclude, the envy one of the main causes for discussions and not only talk about physical things, since also when criticizing a subject, aspects of it are taken into account, but without realizing it, they do not have those appearances. Hate for its part is the residue or result of envy, since having the desired things of other people begin to detest it either because of any action that they perform, although there are cases where only someone hates the action that does not He likes a particular person but not his whole life.

Oedipus throughout the work, it can be seen that he was a very wise person, since he wanted a logical reason for validity to make the accusations to him, since the predictions do not have a logical foundation although he feared the oracles which predicted fate of a subject, these being so effective within the work, since it does not matter where you go fate will chase you. Throughout the work you can see a great similarity between Sophocles life with Oedipus, where we can intuit that basically Oedipus Rey is a simulation of what the author’s life would be like within a fantasy world.
