The Stranger in Oedipus

Murder, assault, and other forms of violence are extensive plague plaguing modern society. In order to deal with these related problems, society has introduced different systems for many years. These systems have shifted from simple ideas to complex jurisdictions and legal entities. Violence not only appears in reality, but also in novels and literary works. Albert's "stranger" depicts the modern judicial system, but Sophocles Oedipus Rex depicts a simple justice system.

& Lt; Tab / & gt; Strangers and Oedipus are two literary works, separated by different authors at different times for about 1000 years. A stranger was written by Albert who lived in France after the war. Oedipus wrote Sophocles living in ancient Greek. Although they were written by different authors of different backgrounds, times and places. However, the two works have similar characteristics of the two main characters Oedipus and Melso.

When Oedipus killed his father, Laius, "This is not due to hatred towards his parents" (Vernant 110). Edips does not know who "stranger" is. All Edips realized that my life is in danger. Fate is the reason Oedipus murdered his father. I did not notice that Edips had achieved half of my terrible prophecies and kept going to Thebes. When he arrived at Thebe, the city was experiencing widespread plague. In order to release the city of this plague, people have to solve the mystery that follows, the mystery of the sphinx. Edipus solved the mystery very cleverly, which healed the city of plague this time. After answering the mystery of Sphinx and destroying the monsters of Thebes, Edipsus is regarded as a hero. When people who are believed to be burglars knows about the death of Lieus, they use Edips as their new king. In the palace there is Jokasta, the ruin of King King Reis who recently disappeared. As a habit, Edeps is married to the widow Jocaster.
