Dear Jocasta,
What Creon said was blasphemy! He is a traitor to Thebes and to me. I cannot believe a word that he said. Tieresias and Creon are working to together to get my place at the throne. I will not allow such a thing to happen. But still there is a thought in my head that keeps on coming to mind. What if Tieresias was right and im just trying my best not to believe. No i cannot let such things trouble my mind. My father is still alive and is living with my mother in Corinth. I will never to such a treachrous thing as to kill my own father. I will never again go to Corinth. I respect my mother and i wouldn't ever dare marry her that is disgusting and shameful. One thing for certain i don't want to see Creon or Tieresias near me or my throne again. I will find out the truth and prove that they were wrong. My throne will be kept safe and only I will rule.
sincerly, Oedipus
Dear Oedipus,
ReplyDeleteI know you are upset about the whole situation and you do not want anything to do with Creon or Tieresias, but this problem has to be solved. You lashed out on Creon without letting him tell his side of the story. You men are acting very immature and you guys MUST work it out; not for me or yourselves, but for our kingdom. Right now is not the time for miscommunication and arguments. Honestly, I do not know the true story and who is telling lies…but you must handle this situation in a much mature way. I can definitely understand why you would be upset, I would hate to be blamed for the killing of Lauis..Especially if I knew I didn’t do it. I think you should apologize to Creon for accusing him for the murder and coming at him in such a rude way. Creon is extremely upset and wishes for you guys to talk. Although, he could come and try to work things out with you himself, you must be the mature man and make the first move towards fixing the situation. Please talk to him and apologize for your wrongs.
Sincerely,
Jocasta
