What happened to Oedipus was definitely not fair to him, this made me feel bad (pity) for him. He seemed to be a good king, always trying to do good things for the citizens of his kingdom, Thebes. He did something that revealed everything and then made him lose everything, he was even warned not to do that too. There is a certain pity on my part for Oedipus, because the decisions he thought would do himself and the citizens good turned out to be terrible. Discovering that Laius' murderer was himself and that Jocasta was his mother. This is what I greatly feared when I was aware of the prophecy stated at the beginning of the text. I might say that you shouldn't feel pity for him because he was too stubborn to find the killer even after the warning of Tiresias, the blind prophet, not to do so and also from his wife, but I feel pity for him because he had no idea that he would returned to his home in Thebes and that he would indeed fulfill the prophecy. So it's quite understandable why he scratched his eyes and was exiled from Thebes, probably not the most desirable action to take, but I can feel the horror he must have felt with the revelations and couldn't bring himself to front Esso. It could be similar to what we see on television, which is quite common in many
