In Oedipus at Colonus, Sophocles presents the final chapter of Oedipus's life. Blind and exiled, Oedipus arrives at Colonus, seeking a place of rest before death. The play explores themes of redemption, fate, and the power of prophecy. As Oedipus confronts his past and prepares for death, he finds solace and a form of spiritual purification, transforming from a figure of tragedy to one of reverence. The narrative emphasizes the potential for grace and dignity even in the face of immense suffering.
