7. Do you feel any differently towards your parents in Corinth?
8. What is your plan for the plaque?
9. How is this plague going to stop?
10. Do you blame yourself for your wifes/moms suicide.
After asking these questions i would want the veiwers to feel bad for oedipus and also feel bad.
1. Why did you kill in the first place?
2. Why wouldn't you listen to your wife/the prophet?
3. How will you deal with the Plague on Thebes?
4. How do you feel about your wife being your mother?
5. Do you regret not listening to people when they told you not to hear your destiny?
6. Does your fate make you feel differently about the gods?
7. Will you continue being the King of Thebes?
8. How will these revelations go over with the people of Thebes?
9. Do you feel betrayed by your birth parents for getting rid of you?
10. Why do you feel you were destined to marry your mother and kill your father?
I would want the readers to feel that Oedipus is a victim of circumstances. I would emphasize that Oedipus was destined for this from the very beginning, and show that he is doing what he can with the cards he has been dealt.
I would make my ten questions thus:
Looking back on the facets of your life, do you wish perhaps you had listened to Tiresias, your wife and the shepherd and not pursued the subject?
How has this experience affected your relationship with your Gods, and does it change the way you look at prophecies?
Do you find it ironic that you are physically bind now, but were blind to everything to begin with?
Why do you suspect that your adoptive parents never thought to tell you of your upbringing?
If you had tempted fate and had asked your parents for counsel, do you think you would have avoided returning to Thebes?
Do you believe your people view you in a different, be it negative or positive, light?
Why do you see yourself unfit for rulership? While perhaps you were the cause, do you not see your were not accountable and your people do not indemnify you?
What will you do with your children?
How will you now live your life now that you must hold true to your word of the punishment to befall the culprit?
Do you have any regrets besides an obvious one?
If it were not necessary for you to leave, but instead asked for forgiveness by your people and your Gods, would the plague be lifted?
Finally: If your people still accepted you as their leader, would you see yourself as fit to stay?
I would want my viewers to not pity him, but understand that perhaps all of this was out of his control and that Oedipus was simply a victim of circumstance.
The ten questions I would ask Oedipus would be:
1) Why did you decide to kill a man out of anger?
2) Why didn't you ask your parents about the wounds on your feet?
3) How did you know the answer to the riddle?
4) Did you feel bad after killing Lauis?
5) Do you believe the oracle now?
6) Why didn't your mom tell you your were adopted?
7) Do you believe in fate after your encounter?
8) Were you scared of death?
9) What are your plans now?
10)Do you believe you are at fault for all that happened?
After the interview I would definatly want thet viewers to think of Oedipus as a good guy in were bad things happened to him.
my laptop was not working, i have talked to you about this.
If I were interviewing Oedipus I would want an armed gaurd for the "harder" questions.
1. So...how is the misses?
2. How do you think this will effect your next term?
3. If a tree falls in the forrest will the train arrive on time at location B?
4. If your cildern were to find out what has happened to you what would you say to them?
5. What do you think the public will think of you know?
6. If you thought you were going to kill your dad and marry your mother, why didn't you talk to them instead of running away from them?
7. Hw did you learn of your fate and what whas your inital reaction?
8. Are you going to send your sons off to anywere now?
9. If you could be a dinosaur which one would you be?
10. If you could talk to Apollo right now what would you say to the god?
After my interview with Oedipus I would want my viewers to think of Oedipus as a good person that was thrown into a diffuicult situation. the guestions that i would want answered would be #'s 3,6, and 9.
1. Why do you think YOU, of any person, was destined for such a fate?
2. Why did you kill Laius at the crossroads?
3. Why did you answer the riddle for Thebes? It wasn't your city, so why meddle in it's business?
4. How did you feel about becoming crowned King in Thebes?
5. How do your kids feel about being your siblings as well?
6. Shit, how do YOU feel about your kids being your siblings as well?
7. What was running through your mind when Teiresias was explaining that you had killed your father.
8. What do you plan to do with your days upon reaching Cithaeron?
9. Do you feel that Thebes has betrayed you or you them?
10. What would your father think of this mess?
I would want the viewers to feel a sense of sympathy for Oedipus, as nothing was really his fault save for murdering his father, but he had no idea it was his dad when he committed the crime.
