Oedipus
Oh, why do all the clues to who murdered Laius seem to lead to me? If I had known it was he I wouldn ever have been so stubborn, so pigheaded! I should have just moved over and let him continue on his merry way. Or no, better yet, HE should have moved over and let ME through! It serves him right! Oh, either way everything would have turned out so much better! Oh, no it wasn't me! It COULDN'T have been me! Could it have? I didn't know! I had no ide! But I suppose if it was I, I must step up and take the circumstances like the man that I am! Like the man my mother and father brought me up ot be! Sure, I didn't know when I made the curse that I could be the murderrer or Laius! But I still made it! What would my people think if I didn't take responsibility for my own actions?

Don't let the people forever shun them for being born of incest when it was obviiously not their fault! Noone can change his or her birth! I don't believe I had an actual relationship with my moehter! The thought makes me feel unclean! The thought is absolutely appallikng! Oh Jocasta there's no way! Please, tell me this is untrue. I must adhere to the dcurse, even though I knew not that I was cursing myself @ the time.
