Spider Man

What the hell does Spiderman have to do with Oedipus? Well they both have the same mindset after they find out they family of theirs has been killed. The story of the deaths take a different rout, but the way the feeling that the lead roles have are the same.

In Spiderman Peter just got in to a fight with his grandfather before he left to go to a wrestling match. Now while he is inside his grandfather gets car jack and shot, and later dies. Peter starts to feel a scence of giult because of the fight that he and his grandfather just had.

This is similar in Oedipus when he finds ou that he killed his father and married his mother. he then pulled out his eye balls, which was stupid. But he also had a feeling of giult, just like Spiderman did. The only difference from the two was that Spiderman turned into somthing positive and Oedipus pulled his eyes out.
