Oedipus Rex

The taboo that takes place in Oedipus Rex is that he is suppose to be killed as an infant but because he was passed on from person to person, he ends up not being killed at all. His pre-destined fate is unavoidable since in the end the G-ds are the deciders of what Oedipus' fate will be. His hatred towards the G-ds and his pride in himself both contribute to his fall. He is unwilling to admit that he will kill his true father and marry his mother. Because he is unable to accept his dome at first, it makes his fall from grace that much more tragic. As he soon realizes what is unavoidable, he begins to slip into paranoia killing people around his, proving his fate true.
