Homework:Mid unit response

The author Sophocles shows that no matter how hard Oedipus tried to not make the prophecy come true it would just happen. Oedipus found out that he's going to murder the one that engendered him (kill his father) and sleep in his bed (sleep with his father's wife, which his mother) and it all came true. The author Sophocles is also saying you can't escape fate. If it's your fate, then it's bound to happen.
