Question

Is oedipus a victim of fait? or a victim of his own actions?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Oedipus is a victim of fate in Oedipus Rex because it would have been impossible for him to avoid the destiny predetermined for him by the gods. However, it could be argued that Oedipus is a victim of his own actions when he murders Laius because he succumbs to his own hubris.
