foreshadowing

1. "When I count the days—

the time he’s been away—I now worry
what he’s doing. For he’s been gone too long,
well past the time he should have taken." ... Oedipus is foreshadowing that Creon might not be trustworthy because he has been gone for longer then he should of been.

2. "I will remove, not for some distant friend,

but for myself. For whoever killed this man
may soon enough desire to turn his hand [140]
in the same way against me, too, and kill me." ... Oedipus is foreshadowing that he might be killed by same man that killed Laius.

3. "They all died—except for one who was afraid

and ran away. There was only one thing 140
he could inform us of with confidence
about the things he saw." ... Creon is foreshadowing that they might be able to avenge Laius because they know that a group of people killed him.

(question #2)

1.Oedipus preposes that the killer should speak out against himself. He also says that if anyone hides the killer or one of his friends out of fear is not avenging Laius. Oedipus also has a unique view of justice, in this case all he wants for justice is for no one to help of show compassion for the killer.

2. Fate and justice co-exist in many ways. If you ask me most of the the time fate itself often leads to justice. Yes, you can also have fate and justice at the same time.

(question #3)

1. Cadmeians - The inhabitants of the city of Thebes.

2. Ismenus - A son of Asopus and Metope.

3.Thrace - A historical and geographic area in southeast Europe.
