What actions show Oedipus wasn't completely good?
In the play Oedipus Rex, I need solid evidence of Oedipus' actions that show he was not completely good nor completely evil. I have what I need for reasons he is not completely evil, but to me he seems like a pretty innocent character. Am I missing something? What actions show he wasn't all innocent?

Take a look at pride. HE solved the riddle, by doing so look at the good HE has done for the people. Because HE solved the riddle things turned for the better until now. HE will solve the problem by finding the kings' murderer (which happened to be him.) Murder is a bad thing. I suppose you all ready have your answer by now though.
