"Go then, let him go, though I go
abundantly to die,
or flung from here and fated;
Yours not his the cry that breaks me.
He a thing that's hated."
I beleive this quote is extreamly ironic and relevent to Oedipus' situation because it wont be Creon who is hated in the end, it will be him, not only by his people, but also by himself. Oedipus in this quote has so much hatred directed towards creon that's really meant for him, and his own fate that was thrust apon him. He has so much pride that he cannot just leave the situation alone, and by doing this, it will lead him to his downfall. The quote also has a very poetic feel in which i think adds to the drama of the situation and makes it so much more powerful and tragic.
