Oedipus

I've tried and tried to really get into the Oedipus the King play but I just couldn't stay focused.  I wonder if I am the only one who has had this problem.  Anyway, I know I really need to read and understand this play and I made myself read it.  I still could not get a full understanding so I looked the play up online and it was summarized before my eyes.  After getting a quick run through of the play I must say I really enjoyed going back and actually reading the play that I once found boring very interesting.  What a predicament to be in this Oedipus.  Seems to me he was dealt a sorry hand according to fate.  This was an assignment I thought I was doomed for because I just could not get into.  Lesson learned it pays to stick to something you feel like you cannot accomplish.
