Write 6 pages with APA style on Self-Realization in Oedipus Rex, A Dolls House and The Glass Menagerie. In those scenarios, self-realization will be like the opening of the ‘inner eye’ of the individual, which will take them on a positive and best path. It can also be considered as a moment when a big ‘confusion mass’ or guilt that may be occupying and constricting an individual’s mind has ‘evaporated’ for good. The confusion in the mind of Oedipus in Oedipus Rex, compulsion for Nora Elmer in A Doll’s House and constriction in the mind of Laura in The Glass Menagerie all get evaporated, when these fictional characters undergo self-realization.&nbsp.

Oedipus Rex is about the life and the tragic death of Oedipus who after becoming the King of Thebes, dies a tragic death after undergoing self-realization. Oedipus was born to King Laius of Thebes and Queen Jocasta but was cared by foster parents, Polybus and Merope, as King Laius feared that the prophecy of being killed by his own son could come true. The prophecy in a way gets actualized when Oedipus due to uncontrollable circumstances kills King Laius without knowing that King Louis was his biological father, setting the stage for future confusions and self-realization. The other prophecy of Oedipus marrying his mother also came true, when he married Queen Jocasta on the account of him becoming the king of Thebes, after solving the Sphinx riddle. When he comes to know about these crimes or immoral acts, he goes into a state of confusion as well as depression, but also at the same time self-realization. That is, he was sure that he can find Laius killers and thereby prevent the onslaught of plague, but this confidence turned into a weakness when he comes to know the profound truth that he is the killer of Louis.
