She acts this way because if he ever found out, it would spell a lot of trouble for the two. By attempting to prevent Oedipus from learning what had happened, she is taking on this role in order to stop him from crossing this barrier that would lead to his downfall, which is caused by his denial.]]> 2021-03-04 18:59:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jkaplan69/piw6imoxx2c3e65n/wish/1270784238 https://padlet.com/jkaplan69/piw6imoxx2c3e65n/wish/1270786108 She is his threshold gaurdian becasue she is trying to stop him from trying to find out the truth of his birth because she has put the pieces together and if he finds out about this he is going to be not happy and it is better for everyone if he does not find out.

She knows the truth Oedipus will find will destroy him. She also, I think, doesn't want to think about it, so it's a little bit of self-preservation.]]> 2021-03-04 19:00:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jkaplan69/piw6imoxx2c3e65n/wish/1270786787 https://padlet.com/jkaplan69/piw6imoxx2c3e65n/wish/1270787061 She basically doesn't let him know that she tried to kill him when he was an infant.
