Question

Identify oedipus's major character traits and expain how they directly influence the plot

Answer 1

For one thing Oedipus is a very proud man. This causes him to be in a sense blind although he can see. This influences the plot because his pride ends up being the moving action for the play. It is his pride that caused him to kill his father and his pride that caused him to try to figure out who had killed King Laius.
