Oedipus journal #2

I think Oedipus is somewhat to assured in his own power, but only because he is the answer so often to everyone's solution. He's learned to be self dependent as seen by his word choice in constant use of I and me. He is self reliant and uses his own wisdom to solve his dilemmas. Creon and Teiresias are the wise counselors of Oedipus, whereas he is somewhat rash and headstrong, they are methodical and counter his youth and strength with advice and planning. Often they warn him or give him information on things they've uncovered on their own.
