4 Brothers


4 brothers is a good example of a tragedy because their mom dies and the 4 brothers want to get back at the people who kill their mom. The reason tragedy's are good movies are they are not about you, they make you think if it was to happen to you what would you do.

I think they are similar because one of the brothers has a really big ego and wont stop until they find the killer and Oedipus has a big ego too when the people of Thebes tell him that they need to find the killer of Laius he said he wont stop until they find him.

At the ending of 4 brothers the brothers find the killer and they pay his own men to kill him because of the oldest brothers ego and they want to make the killer pay for what he did to their mom. This quote is a reason why i think Oedipus is so tragic " the agony! I am agony- where am I going? where on earth? where does all this agony hurl me?" (on pg 319) the reason he is saying this is because he just found out thta he killed his dad and married his mom and his mom killed herself because of him.
