Post 2: Oedipus Relates to My Question

Although Oedipus made several 'wrong' decisions unknowingly, the role of evil play a major role in the story. Oedipus was not necessarily attracted to evil doing but his fate along with his willingness cuases him to marry his mother and murder his own father. Evil aurrounds us and taunts us in everyday life. It is a questions if you as a person can withstand this pressure and over come evil or if the power to do wrong is too strong and you crumble. Oedipus does not exactly understand what he is doing but realizes that it is wrong and evil. He tests his own strengths and eventually learns that the evil 'force' took over and caused him to act unrioghtously.
