Oedipus Project
Storyboard Szöveg
- A messenger and a senator talk about the passing away of Jocasta.
- The messenger explains that before she committed suicide, she burst in shouting and taking off her hair violently, obsessing on the fact that the prophecies actually came true.
- He says Oedipus arrived as soon as that happened, imploring for a sword, and dashed through the doors only to find that he was too late -- Jocasta hung herself.
- In shock, Oedipus released her, took the pins that were in her garments, and used them to take out his own eyes (the messenger gives a very gruesome depiction of this action.)
- The man finishes his story by stating that Oedipus is currently wishing to leave before he is able to further curse the house.
- Oedipus then appears on stage, and he is led by a young boy.
- Chorus: Oedipus speaks directly to the Chorus, evidently showing his newfound humbleness.
- The Chorus and Oedipus both trade lines, expressing the terror and macabre of the entire situation.
- The Chorus is shocked at what he did to himself. Oedipus says he cannot no longer enjoy life and that he plans to depart from Thebes.
- He also curses whomever rescued him when he was a boy because his life is full of pain.
- This section ends with the Chorus asking why Oedipus decided to blind himself rather than kill himself.
