In a well-organized essay of a recommended minimum of 1000-1500 words (two to three double-spaced pages typed in 12-point Times Roman font), explain how the textual evidence in Oedipus the King can logically be seen to support an argument that Oedipus is not blamable or, perhaps better, not blameworthy — for fulfilling the terms of the fate that the Oracle predicts and that he suffers. Given the number of key facts in the case, one should reasonably expect to write a paper that is at least nine paragraphs in length.
