Oedipus Rex Oedipus Rex Even though I did not enjoy the ending of Sophocles' Oedipus Rex, I did however, find the first part of the play to be interesting. It was almost like a puzzle for me, in the sense that I had to figure out what was going on from the way the characters spoke. Despite this, I was able to understand with the help of our class discussions. What caught my attention towards the end, however, was the horrible death that Iocaste experienced. Though not as horrible as the life that her son / husband will be living after his violent reaction to the terrifying news of his fulfillment of the prophecy cast upon him by Apollo; Iocaste's death signifies the punishment that Apollo placed upon her for trying to change the fate of her and her husband's life -- trying to kill her own baby boy-Oedipus.
