The Use of Irony in OedipusRex

…

…no one can fully control her/his fate. We can however control the circumstances surrounding our lives. We also have the ability to shape our fate if we just open ourselves completely. Not just with out physical senses but with our foresight. We must think rationally to evade a nightmarish and out-of-control destiny. The use of irony in the play helps us to better comprehend what can happen and how to prevent it from happening.
