Titanic

Oedipus to Tiresias "Yes, take him away. You're a nuisance here. Out of the way, the irritation's gone".

This quote shows Oedipus Ego. Basically he's mocking Tiresias because he's poor and hes just a pesk to him and if he's nobody to Oedipus then he should be nobody for everybody else just all the other poor people. It also seems from this quote that he just used him to take part of the irritation he had on him.

The movie Titanic and Oedipus are connected by both movie have to do with rich or poor society. In Titanic the rich people were the ones to get on the life boats first than anybody else. And Rose and Jack couldn't be together just because of their different class. Also in the movie Titanic you could tell the lower class people had more fun than the high class people did. In oedipus he came out of a rich family without knowing it because he was basically brought up by a lower class. He didn't have an Ego until he saved the town and got married to the Queen. Then he started to get the Ego. So the last thing both of Oedipus and Titanic high society got to see was people drowning, killing themselves because they weren't so important to live. And Oedipus last thing to see was the damage of his actions. so basically they should feel awful for their last view.
