Oedipus Comic ENG4U
Storyboard Text
- Oedipus, you will grow to kill your father and marry your mother.
- NO! I will never kill Polybus! I must leave Corinth. This will never come true!
- You are the killer of Laius, Oedipus.
- That is false. I know for certain you are the killer of the king. You will also become a beggar, go blind, and be banished.
- I swear I did not kill the king. I bet you and Creon are trying to set me up to take away my crown!
- Myself and Laius had a child, we had to send it away to be murdered though because he was given the prophecy that he would kill his father and marry his mother
- I believe he was killed by an out-land robber at a place where three roads meet. He was tall, very tall, with silver hair.
- Wait a minute, I killed someone who was tall with silver hair. I believe that happened in an area where three roads meet. Uh oh...
- Woahhhhh that is so cool! I was given the same prophecy!!
- I'm sorry to inform you Oedipus but your father, Polybus has indeed died, from an illness.
- I have more news for you Oedipus. Polybus is not your real father. You were adopted as a child.
- As sad as it is that Polybus has passed, at least we know my prophecy did not come true!
- That's true!
- How did I not realize that he's my son?! I can't possibly live anymore knowing I had children with my son!
- Tell me the truth. I must know, RIGHT NOW!!!
- Oedipus, you are the child of Laius and Jocasta. Years and years ago, when Jocasta and Laius heard about your prophecy, then told me to bring you to the mountain to send you to your death. I couldn't do that to a newborn baby, so I decided to give you to the messenger to bring to another place, far away.
