Themes
- Accepting fate is the only way to truly be at peace with ones self.
- Oedipus the King: In this play, Oedipus goes through it doubting himself and always needing to know more. Finally, when he learns the truth he accepts it, when he does he is willing to accept the punishment that comes with his actions. There are no more conflicting ideas or feelings, he knows he must leave Thebes and accept his fate and punishment giving him internal peace.
2. Fate is determined by emotions rather than actions.
- Madea: All of Madea's actions are driven by her emotions. Because they are driven by emotions they are unstoppable. Emotions are passive, we don't mean for them to happen they just do. They tie directly into fate because they are implacable. Madea's emotions give her the motivation to kill her sons and the king and princess. She could not help herself because her emotions were so strong.
