Who do you think is most to blame for the situation the city of Thebes finds itself in? It it Oedipus? Jocasta? Laius? The shepherd who gives Oedipus to the King of Corinth instead of leaving him on the mountain side? The citizens? Creon? The oracle? The gods? Teiresias? Make your case by analyzing the characterization (physical, social, and psychological) of the person or people you blame most.
Remember:
Both posts should be a minimum of 150 words;
Both posts should use proper grammar, mechanics, and spelling;
Both must include at least one quotation (with the line numbers in the parenthetical citation) and a works cited list.
The response post should be original–that is, not merely using the same quotation your peer used or the one you used in your initial post or making exactly the same point. Add something to the discussion.
See below for the proper work cited entry if you are using the edition assigned; feel free to copy and paste it. If you are using another edition, you will need to create an appropriate work cited entry for it yourself.
