Fate, Family, and Oedipus Rex: Crash Course Literature 202 Duke: This is great, made me consider some angles that didn't occur to me when I read Oedipus like 25 years ago. I'd always read the -big mistake- as being made of smaller mistakes & character flaws (the shepherd choosing not to tell Oedipus who his father is for instance, and Oedipus' own short temper & propensity for treating people shabbily as the flaw that led him to kill a stranger who turned out to be his father.

Thank you for saying that Oedipus does NOT have an Oedipal complex because I got confused with one of my literature questions. It was asking me how does the Oedipal complex apply to the story and I, having read and fully understood the story, was really confused because as you said, he never -wanted- to kill his father in the first place.

Freud: It's called the Oedipus Complex, every man secretly wants to sleep with his mother
Oedipus who just gouged out his own eyes and exiled himself because death was not enough of a punishment for what he had done: IT'S CALLED THE WHAT!

Aristotle's -pity- describes an attraction to others' suffering, like when you can't resist slowing down to see a car crash. Correspondingly, -fear- is a feeling of repulsion from said suffering. It makes a neat contrast.

Well Aristotle was right about one thing with the slavery in humans. that they are susceptible to it because you see these people that are become slaves to technology right now.

free will does not exist. The choices we make are determined by our genetics. We react to stimuli based on past experience. There fore, past events control what you do now.

people who don't know that story at 1: 00 of video: It could not be that crazy.
Those people at 1: 20 second of video: WHAT THE FU######!

Wow, the most shocking thing I learned from this is that he wrote The Fault in our Stars. I had to go look it up just to be sure. Awesome!

Do you cover why Laius and family were cursed in another video, it's probably one of the few times the gods rightfully punished someone.
