Oedipus

Oedipus creates his own reality by believing that the King Polybos his is father and Queen Merope is his mother. When in reality King Laius and Queen Jocasta are his true parents. Jocasta marries her son Oedipus not knowing he his her son, but eventually figures it out. Changing her reality and POV. Could she have chosen not to believe that Oedipus was her son? Is there really enough evidence? Jocasta repeatedly speaks of how the prophecy of the Oracle wasn't not true about Oedipus, so why would she choose to believe it when they "figure out" that Oedipus was her son? Jocasta allows for this to be her reality. Oedipus ,through the whole work, believes that this prophecy is his fate, but will fight against it. His reality wasn't necessarily changed, but confirmed when he was told of his true origin. He continually holds the same reality to be true, through connecting his fate with fact. Both Jocasta and Oedipus pull elements from their surroundings to form their "truth". They each chose the elements they wished to believe true, piecing together their reality.
