Oedipus and My Big Question

Oedipus and my question interact in a variety of ways. The tragic end of Oedipus proves how detrimental a relationship such as the one with his mother and him, can be. Throughout his life the relationships Oedipus has are healthy and supportive. He is happy with his friends and surrounded by good people around him. When the murder search is lit aflame though Oedipus at first turns on his dear friend and brother in law, Kreon. At this point the relationship was tainted. Because Oedipus accused Kreon of telling lies so that he could steal the throne, a tension was created. This was obviously harmful because it caused stress on all the people involved. Then, when Oedipus realized who his mother/wife was, it ruined his life. This healthy and otherwise perfectly normal relationship was eventually found out for what it truly was, incest. Just the fact that Oedipus had been betrothed to his mother and had relations in the same bed that he was birthed was too much for Oedipus and Jocasta to handle. This harmful relationship was the end of them both. Jocasta hung herself because she could not bare to live on with her husband/son. Oedipus also blinded himself with Jocasta's brooches because he would not look upon the world and the other people in his life in the same way. He couldn't look at his marvelous palace the same, or his daughters the same, or even his own brother in law in the same way as he did before he knew the truth. In all, Oedipus is the perfect depiction of how a healthy relationship can turn harmful, and how that relationship can impact someone, such as Oedipus, to the highest extent.
