'An Analysis Of Oedipus Abomination'

Oedipus called himself an “abomination” because he did know that he would kill his father and marry his mother and he thought that he had avoided his fate, but he feels like he failed himself and everyone he cared for. He still feels guilty for what he did even though he didn’t know what he did because this whole incident could have been prevented many times but he didn’t follow simple rules like what we discussed in class, don’t kill anyone and don’t marry anyone older than you. Based on this I think Oedipus believes he is evil because he could have prevented everything. Although Oedipus believes people should be punished even though they were unaware of what they were doing, I don’t think people should be held responsible for their actions
