Post 25

Throughout all of the stories that we have read this semester, the King Oedipus is most like the character Hamlet. Both of these characters have similar but yet different story lines; each of their fathers have died (despite the fact that Oedipus unknowingly in the beginning was the person to do so), they both are over dramatic as evident from Hamlet contemplating life, "To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer..." and when Oedipus gouges out his eyes, screaming, "You, you'll see no more the pain I suffered, all the pain I caused!" due to his previous actions and mistakes.
