How do we write an essay explaining how the suffering brought upon by Oedipus in Sophocles's Oedipus Rexcontributes to the tragic vision of the work...

It's important to remember that although the events in that lead
to 's tragic downfall are primarily the result of his own tragic flaw
(hamartia) of excessive pride (), the events that
brought Oedipus to Thebes and into his current situation are not entirely the result of his own
hubris-driven decisions.

As the story of Oedipus's life is revealed piece by
piece in the play,shows us his "tragic vision" for Oedipus
Rexthat Oedipus is a victim of many circumstances and events throughout his life that
were beyond his control, which contributed to his downfall, along with his own hubris.

Oedipus was a baby when he was saved from death in the mountains by aand given to King
Polybus and Queen Merope of Corinth to raise as their own child.

Oedipus has
no idea that Polybus and Merope aren't his birth parents until that fact is revealed by thein
the play.

This is the moment in the play called the
peripeteia , part of Sophocles's overall "tragic
vision"...
