Point of View/Characters:
The story is told from Oedipus's point of view. This does not change throughout the play. The narrative voice is reliable. The reader gets to know Oedipus pretty well, because he thoroughly shares his thoughts in the play. He has a lot of lines in the play. The writer does not really persuade us to sympathize with the characters. The writer persuades us to dislike Oedipus because Oedipus gouges his eyes out which is a stupid thing to do. Why would someone want to live blind? That would be a horrible way to live.
