Self-deception |
Welcome Back To My Blog: What If Any Connection That can be exists between determination & self-decption in the play.

Determination |
Words To Think About:
- Determination:firmness of purpose; resoluteness
Self-deception: the action or practice of allowing oneself to believe that a false or unvalidated feeling, idea, or situation is true.
Based on these two words it has a lot of connection to the play and the characters. based on the definition of determination Oedipus wants to put the pieces together to find out whats going on who killed who ; how can this madness be out to an stop , how can the town be saved he is trying to find the resolution to all these things. based on the definition of self-deception it fall more for the characteristic of Jocasta to me and also Oedipus because through out the play we see Jocasta change from this independent woman to this person who is trying too help figure this out for her husband/child. Jocasta doesn't really know what she is growing into because she runs out of the temple because she doesn't know whats really going or why she is really doing this. how this definition represents Oedipus is from the start of the play he was this person who doesn't believe it until he see's it ( or until someone saying "HEY DUDE PAY ATTENTION ITS TRUE " ) he changed from that to a non-jerk face to a nice sweet person who wants to help making everything goes right because he wants to find the truth.
