Three of the most talked about theories include hamartia, free will, and fate. Although many critics support the fate and hamartia to be the causes of Oedipus’ downfall, free will best explains his tragedy. 1.1 Background The question of what causes Oedipus’s downfall in Sophocles Oedipus Rex has been surrounded by controversy for almost two-thousand years. In Oedipus Rex, not knowing his identity and not realizing the truth about his life, marrying his mother and killing his father, cause the downfall of Oedipus. In his essay, “The Guilt of Oedipus,” P. H. Vellacott explains how knowledge is what many readers have been using to analyze the difficulties in the play “which may after all be insoluble” (207).
