The Destiny of Oedipus

         I find the article written by Sigmund Freud about Oedipus the King fascinating. Not only does he break down the dynamics of the play but he also uses Oedipus' experience and relates it to the every man. He explains the psychological undercurrent that's in the play. Though I do not agree with the idea that as children we want to marry our mothers and fathers (Oedipus and Electra Complex) on some subconscious level I think the idea is interesting.I like that Freud doesn't focus on the metaphors and literary analysis (that tends to get boring after a while) , he applies a real life understanding to the play. Why the protagonist acted as he did and how everyday people can do the same because we are human beings with primal urges.
