Arrogance in Oedipus and Cocteau's Infernal Machine

The myths of Oedipus in Oedipus and Cocteau's Hell Machine have been centuries. As each author and lecturer shows each version, overtime myths change in various ways. The main plot usually remains the same, but the author adds his own style to a tragic story. In Sophocles King Oedipus and Jean Heketo's Hell Machine, both authors are concerned about the arrogant nature of Oedipus. Because this quality is ultimately destructive, the relationship between Oedipus and other characters proves this arrogance.

The myth of Edips is very old. It first appeared in the form of Homer 's "Odyssey" and "Ilyad". Aeschylus and Euripides are writing about heroes, Julius Caesar, Ovid and Seneca, and more recently about AndréGide and Jean Cocteau.

Protagoras, prototype atheist, declared, "People are all metrics", Democritus said that everything is not the result of "main motive" or "ultimate cause" but rather the result of natural law I believe there is. When Sophocles became 25 years old, the philosopher Heraclitus who changed, conflicted and marked died. When the drama was performed, Plato was just a baby but Socrates was 40 years old and Hippocrates was 30 years old.

These features are the factors that cause his downfall, making him humiliating, smart and more obedient. At the beginning of the story, Oedipus had great arrogance because he felt he was almost equivalent to God. Because of his equal feelings, he proudly dominated Thebes and settled the riddle of Sphinx (respecting justice and not afraid of temple of God) (1313 lines, line 974) This pride is his (Berkowitz and Brunner 115. Oedipus pointed out that his mistake is his mistake on his own mistake. Aggressiveness to this question, and too fast, Tiresias and Creon We condemned to protest against his royal family and radio stations. "(4 p 145)
