He was a puppet of his fate and by attempting to escape it, he ended up fulfilling it anyway. Perhaps by resisting his fate, he secured it even further.]]> 2021-03-04 19:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisse4/ggshw04n5bhj325b/wish/1270945122 sizemor6452a https://padlet.com/chrisse4/ggshw04n5bhj325b/wish/1270947564 Oedipus was a puppet of his fate, because with moving away from the kingdom, it set his fate in motion (which he had no control of).

This might even go so far as to physically prevent him from committing suicide. Otherwise, the prophecy might've also predetermined Oedipus's very own thought patterns, insinuating that Oedipus had no free will at all.]]> 2021-03-04 19:31:18 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisse4/ggshw04n5bhj325b/wish/1270947865 smith3120g https://padlet.com/chrisse4/ggshw04n5bhj325b/wish/1270948756 2021-03-04 19:31:29 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisse4/ggshw04n5bhj325b/wish/1270948756 ellis5899j https://padlet.com/chrisse4/ggshw04n5bhj325b/wish/1270949877 He was the puppet of his fate due to the fact that he was told from a young age what his future was going to hold.
