Oedipus

Oedipus and Harold Crick have taught me that I am responsible for my actions even though my fate is sealed; however, for Harold Crick, this was not the case. Harold did everything he could to knowingly walk into his fate. Through his actions he changed his fate. When he accepted his fate was when he changed his fate. I would have, in that situation, done everything in my power to change my fate.
Oedipus was a good man with a bad fate. He tried to change his fate for all good reasons. This is what classifies him as a good man. When he finds out that his fate has come true, Oedipus punishes himself, but does not kill himself. He takes responsibility for his fate, but wants to let other people know that he was responsible.
