First of all, give me a GOOD definition of suffering.
Then identify places in that play where someone is feeling like that.

would a suffering moment be basically like a tragic moment?
For example,as a child, Oedipus was given a prophecy that he was to grow up marrying his mother and slaying his father. Jocasta and Laius try to stop the prophecy by killing Oedipus, but in the end, fate was the ultimate winner.
Would that be a scene of suffering?
