A 5 page essay that discusses the role of Jocasta in Oedipus Rex. The writer argues that Sophocles uses his characterization of Jocasta, Oedipus' wife/mother, to underscore the principal themes of the play. Jocasta is a powerful maternal figure in the saga, representing ancient Greek values that defined fealty to the family as one of the highest virtues. While Jocasta appears on stage in only a few scenes, her behavior underscores the depth of the sin committed not only by Oedipus, but also by his biological father Laius. No additional sources cited.
