Oedipus was afraid to kill his father and marry his mother, so he left his adoptive father. He thought he was the biological son of his adoptive father, leaving his relatives and friends, just to avoid committing a crime against ethics and escape from the set fate.
The tragedy of Oedipus, from the beginning to the end, Oedipus was innocent. He killed his father and married his mother without knowing it. He didn't do anything wrong. In the end, he blinded himself and exiled himself because of his conscience.
Western tragedy is a process from fate tragedy to character tragedy. In ancient Greece, people's subjectivity was poor, and their inability to face nature made tragedy happen because of inevitable fate. Oedipus is a kind and honest man with high moral standards, but he also has the character defect of irritability. He didn't know the whole process of killing his father and marrying his mother, but the result was based on his character defects and wrong decisions.
His punishment comes from his own pursuit of good and the most fundamental fate. His tragedy is doomed, so is his punishment.
Since childhood, our teachers and family have instilled in us the idea that fate is in our own hands and that man is sure to win the day. The whole human society advocates such a kind of value. People should give full play to their subjective initiative and try to change the situation that is not conducive to their own development.
But the end of Oedipus' life tells us that fate is a powerful, mysterious and terrible force. People are small in the face of a powerful fate, and there is nothing they can do to change anything.
This conflicts with the values we always advocate, and this conflict is an important reason why we feel sad for Oedipus' life.
This tragic story is a cruel and real real world, in which human limitations and weaknesses can be seen at a glance. However, it bears these terrible consequences with a solemn and peaceful attitude of beauty, which is both sad and beautiful. It really makes the viewer have a respect for the order of nature and accept the education function of imperfect human nature.
"I'm just like Oedipus. I'm not willing to be driven by fate, but I can't change my destiny after all." Said Forsythe with emotion.
"But anyway, if you make a mistake, you should be punished." Fang Tianxing said to him.
"I only have the last choice. I can't choose how to live, but how to die." Forsyth sighed.
After that, he pulled out his sword and instead of throwing it at others, he wiped it across his neck and killed himself with a sword.
With the blood flowing out, Fang Tianxing puts away a drop of his blood and sends a signal to James and Reyes, telling them that the truth has come out and let them come.
James and Reyes came together. Seeing the situation at the scene, together with the interrogation of the survivor Lao Wang, they finally determined that Francis was behind the killing of Baron Thor.
As for the reason why Forsyth poisoned Thor, there was no need to ask more. They knew that Thor had too much blood in his history.
In fact, most of the time, the upper class people who are out of reach for ordinary people are not like the earth emperor with a golden hoe in his lust. It's the scene of the upper class society in the distant legend, which can improve its style even at a glance; I really throw the legendary upper class society to my side.
There is no way to achieve their own, can only be left to ridicule, "so rich at home, but also work, pretend what force."
"The noble young master is the noble young master. They all think that our losers are not worthy of showing off their wealth."
"Pull it down. I don't know where his money came from." If you want to turn it into hate, it will come out of your mouth.
These make complaints about the problem. In fact, high society has nothing to do with upbringing. First of all, from the perspective of definition, the upper class society is the profiteer who controls the power of political power, social resources and natural resources distribution in the society. It has nothing to do with the level of personality and social education.
As the saying goes, a man of noble character will be cut off for five generations. Without profound education, people in the upper class will be defeated sooner or later. So it seems that the cultivation of the overall quality of the family is a way for the upper class to consolidate their status.
It is reasonable to say that modesty is to eliminate disasters and avoid disasters. There are many aristocratic families who respect such admonitions, but education plays a very small role in this respect. Because in the final analysis, to become an upper class society depends on money and power, and morality is not worth a few dollars.
So what's life like in the upper class? First of all, it is also a society of the upper class. Some are thrifty, some are spendthrift, some are modest and introverted, and some are arrogant and domineering. It is no different from other societies.
But in the final analysis, the reason why it is high-class is because of the resources held by members. The same meal, the same debt repayment, people talk about two or three billion.
In the same way, it's a shocking scandal that someone else's family members are short-lived and published in the newspaper.
This is the final gap. First of all, the upper class does not work, too vulgar; Secondly, most of the upper class activities are leisure activities, which cost a lot, and the results are difficult to measure, and there are few competitive activities. In short, they burn money and time. Such as riding, art, appreciation, etc.
This makes it difficult for local tyrants to fight. They are not afraid to burn money, and they are even willing to burn money. But few developed from struggle can be indifferent to the waste of time. So they were completely defeated, and they were thought to be smelly and tasteless.
This is the root of those unique behavior characteristics. In the above-mentioned Western noble families, they go to famous schools, but most of them are in literature, art and other disciplines. How many of them go to engineering or science?
It's not that they are definitely not good at studying, but these subjects are too easy to be compared and competitive to match their family background. Will the upper class compare with you in math? It's better than playing golf.
In this way, the model of upper class society came out.
Why did the children of the Eight Banners enjoy flowers, sing operas and carry cages and birds? It's not completely depraved. This kind of behavior has internal logic.
For the people at the bottom, you can't afford the money. For the officials who rely on the imperial examination, you don't have the time, so you are special.
In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the upper class developed such a method to the extreme: simply playing self mutilation, serving five stones, eating the basic waste people, so no one dared to come to Shanzhai again.
Of course, there are sequelae in doing so. Blindly taking the non utilitarian road is easy to fail in the secular competition. Moreover, when the economy fails, the inertia of behavior pattern is still there, so it is particularly strange and conspicuous. For example, Jia Baoyu does not work in politics and is not an official. That is the standard image of nobility. The problem is that no one in Jia's court will have no political support, and it is only a matter of time for him to be exiled.
