Oedipus

Our discussion of fate has really got me thinking lately and I find myself asking if every event that takes place in my life is already scripted out for me.

And so, can a person ever escape their destiny?

As for Oedipus, he doesn't appear as if he does. But underneath it all, he finally figures out who he is and where his roots are embedded. In this way, has he escaped fate? While he's now blind, he's not dead. It is possible for him continue. That fated event doesn't have to be the end of him...
