My favorite part of this poem was the symbolism portrayed by both the Owl and Oedipus. Back during Oedipus time owls in the morning sun were seen as a bad omen. Usually this was a sign that something really bad would happen soon that would be catastrophic to a society. Although at this point of time in my poem; Oedipus has been banished from his kingdom for falling for his own hubris. Now he wanders the forest in search for survival and a new location to call home. On this journey however he finds an owl and begins talking to him. He begs the owl or the bad omen for the supplies needed for survival. But the Owl denies in helping Oedipus because of the curse that was but on him at his birth. This causes a reversal in positions making the owl safe and Oedipus a danger to the forest. This poem shows how one with great power can lead to corruption; which will later lead to poverty and a self corrupted mind.
