Explain how oedipus’s character influences the events of the plot. (oedipus the king)

Oedipus is anger and very proud.

His anger and pride, makes him kill King Laius. Had he not killed Laius, Thebes would not have been cursed. His anger out on the blind prophet, Tiresias, when he doesn't give him the answers he wants. His pride is insulted when Tiresias suggests Oedipus is to blame. His anger and pride was his destruction.

in the quotation from passage, connie willis states that literature is a way for authors from the past to communicate with readers of today. we can read their stories, books, and other texts to learn lessons about life. willis refers to these lessons as messages “from beyond the grave.” willis has a favorable viewpoint about the timelessness of literature.
