Is jocasta in love with Oedipus?

yes


How do the Thebans show love and respect to Oedipus as their king?

It's clear that Theban citizens love and respect Oedipus as their King, because of the Priest's actions and comments in the Prologue to 'Oedipus Rex'. For example, the Priest sets up his sacrificial altar in front of Oedipus' palatial home. He also conveys the citizens' requests for Oedipus' help in ending the plague. Additionally, he reminds Oedipus of previously successful feats of valor against other challenges, such as the Sphinx. Specifically, he addresses Oedipus as 'most powerful in all men's eyes'.


What does the priest say to Oedipus in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That a pestilence afflicts Thebes and that Oedipus can end it is what the priest says to Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the priest of Zeus has absolute faith in Theban King Oedipus as the ultimate problem-solver. He explains that Oedipus has two things going for him. In fact, he describes Oedipus as the best of men and the most favored by the gods.


What horrible thing does the oracle claim that Oedipus will do in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That he will kill his father and marry his mother are the horrible things that the oracle claims that Oedipus will do in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, it is the Delphic oracle that speaks to Oedipus of these horrible things. This oracle is located at Delphi and is considered the most famous and most respected oracle in ancient Greece. What the Delphic oracle says therefore tends to be taken seriously, and Oedipus does what any really frightened person does: He runs.


Who is the tragic hero in 'Oedipus Rex'?

Theban King Oedipus is the tragic hero in the play 'Oedipus Rex'. A hero is someone who does great deeds, and has great powers. Oedipus is heroic in his defeating the Sphinx, who overtaxes all Thebans and kills Theban residents and visitors.Something tragic is something that leads to an unhappy ending or outcome. Oedipus loses his wife, his sight, his reputation, his possessions, his job, and his home. Additionally, he loses the love and the respect of his twin sons, Eteocles and Polyneices.Two main things are salvaged from the scandal of his albeit unknowing murder of his father and his sovereign and his albeit unknowing incest with his mother. He still has the love and the respect of his daughter Antigone. And he still has his physical life to lead as a blind expatriate.

Whom does Oedipus assume his parents to be in 'Oedipus Rex'?

Polybus and Merope are the couple whom Oedipus assumes his parents to be in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus is raised as the only child and heir apparent of Corinthian monarchs Polybus and Merope. He feels confident of their love for him and believes that they have his best interests at heart. That the couple's love is strong makes it all the more shocking when Oedipus hears a rumor that Polybus and Merope are not his biological parents.
