It’s 50% Oedipus’s fault for what happened to him near the end of the story because he ran away. If he had not run away from his home, he would have never killed his father. Apollo told him his fate and he ran away, only to meet his father on the road and kill him there. Her should have stayed with Polybus and just accepted his fate. Then he would have never met his real father on the road and killed him. It’s also his fault because he shouldn’t have married a woman that old knowing the prophecy even if he thought that he had escaped her. He should have married a woman who was a lot closer to his age. He should of just accepted his fate.
It’s also 25 percent Jocasta’s fault for leaving him up for grabs when he was a baby. If she had kept him he would have ran away from her rather than running away from his fake mother which would give him a chance of being able to come back. It was a dumb move to begin with. And it’s 15% percent Apollo for giving him the screwed up fate in the place.
Laius is ten percent responsible for bothering Oedipus in the second place. If he had left the boy (that he didn’t know in the place) alone, instead if tending to business that wasn’t his own he still certainly be alive. Oedipus wasn’t bothering anyone that fateful day but, Laius felt like being stupid and responsible for matters that didn’t concern him.
