Oedipus the King 5
Fate is a very crucial aspect of everybody's life. All people have their fate predetermined for them by God before they are even born. Some times a person can control what happens to him/her but only to a certain extent. The reason that some happenings are controlled to an extent goes to the fact that all other aspects in life are controlled by a higher power. There are so many occurrences in life that may not be introduced to certain people. However, eventually some of these occurrences may be introduced to the person.

Oedipus felt good at first to become a King and to have a lot of people believe in him and trust him. When Creon Jocasta's brother brought the news from the Gods about how they should clean up the mess and kill the person who killed the King, a blind man approached Oedipus and told him that he was the killer.
