So many questions

Did Oedipus have any control over any of these events? Did the prophecy over his life sit in the back of his mind and haunt him? Did Jocasta ever think about the prophecy of her child that she abandoned, or did she try to forget about it all? The fact that Oedipus unknowingly fulfilled the prophecies of killing his father and marrying his mother proves that there must have been some outside factor. Were the gods controlling what was happening, influencing his decisions along the way while lived life oblivious of it all? Was it simply just coincidence that he happens to murder the men on the carriage that his father was on and then marry Jocasta? I have so many questions about how this unfortunate mess happened.

I commented on Ollie’s and Darby’s!
