Oedipus The King Puns

I forget exactly how it went, but it was mother fuckin gold.

That guy was royally screwed !

Hi all,

Just wondering what your initial ideas on this statement would be. I'm contemplating writing an essay on the matter but will definitely use any ideas as the basis of a debate I'll have with my book group next week.

Any comments appreciated

In his essay The Myth of Sisyphus, Camus quotes Oedipus saying "Despite so many ordeals, my advanced age and the nobility of my soul make me conclude that all is well" (O'Brien translation). I can't seem to find this quote in any version of Oedipus the King/Oedipus Rex. In the non-translated version (Camus' actual words) he quotes Oedipus saying "Malgré tant d'épreuves, mon âge avancé et la grandeur de mon âme me font juger que tout est bien." I couldn't find anything for the french version either. Does anyone happen to know which version of Oedipus the King Camus is quoting?

That baby was a stone-gold motherfucker.

Because he kisses his mother with that mouth

Oedipus: Oracle, what’s going to happen to me?

Oracle: You’re going to kill your father and marry Joe.

Oedipus: Who’s Joe?

Is this a homework? Maybe. But if u may consider please answer <_>

I married the psychological help (not mine) apparently we were both into taboo sex. It didn't last but she taught me about the Oedipus Complex and I have always wondered how my ex wife was like my adopted mom. (my 2nd wife is kinda)

I then remembered my stable memories are of hanging out with a social worker at McDonald's, etc and talking. Creepy.

Thoughts?

I was listening to a lecture and it addressed Fromm's interesting take on the Oedipus Complex but I'm having difficulty finding in what of Fromm's primary texts he talks about said topic. If anyone knows where I could find this within his work I would be very grateful

Because he's a bad motherfucker.

Hi, I'm looking for a mythologist paper -or any other area of expertise that would tackle it, really- that would make a clear case for the psychoanalytic connexion between Oedipus Rex and the crime novel. I've heard, thought about the connexion for a while now, but I really need a reliable paper that lays it out, for an introduction for my PhD and I'm struggling to find a paper solely about that.

During the Game Changers reunion show Jeff tried his hardest to get Aubry and Cochran to become a couple. But that’s just what it looked like on the surface. In Aubry’s CBS Bio for season 32 she stated that she was “The love child of Sophie and Cochran.”

For those of you unaware, in Oedipus Rex the tragic hero, Oedipus, goes to an oracle who prophesies that he will marry his mother and kill his father. He accidentally fulfills said prophesy.

So if Aubry were to start dating Cochran, that would fulfill the first part of the prophecy. Jeff’s hope was that from there Aubry would, like Oedipus, accidentally fulfill the second half of the prophesy by killing Sophie.

This whole part of the reunion show was part of Jeff’s master plan to avenge the loss of both Ozzy and Coach in South Pacific.

I saw this stand up recently and there was a joke that Oedipus would be pissed that we named "Oedipus Complex" after him because its the complex that you *want* to fuck your mom. But when he found out he had he carved his eyes out (or something, its been a while since I was forced to read Shakespeare, guys)

"Surprise, motherfucker."

Hey. I've read a bit from Deleuze/Guattari's A Thousand Plateaus and related works, including Anti-Oedipus. (Mostly online)

I found this link: http://www.therevolution.jmoon.net/About/foucault.html which quotes from Foucault's preface to the latter work. I also once read the preface myself, a while ago. I have been curious about this: (1) do these principles operate somewhat clearly (if not verbatim as put here) within the focus of Foucault's philosophy (i.e. are there more writings on the lacuna, lacking, negativity, etc. as political motivations)? and (2) was wondering about the fact that the principles are mostly encoded as do-nots, despite one of those do-nots being a down on lack, lacuna, negativity.

Have not read much Foucault, have garnered a lot from pretty long conversations with friends and fellow academics alike, thanks

In other words, killing your mother or hating your mother because she protected you too much.

It was mother fucking gold
