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.
