Themes and ideas:
Using the example of Oedipus, the author shows that going out of your way to avoid something often makes it happen. Oedipus leaves his family because he was told he would kill his parents. However, they were not his real parents, and he ended up finding his real parents and killing them. They also went aout of their way to avoid something. When Oedipus was born, they were told he would kill them, so they sent him away, which made him think they were not his parents. If he had known, he would not have killed them.
