oedipus rex

i have jus completed Oedipus rex and i think it is seriously a really good play. as we have been discussing much about the incest, ignorance, kindness and blindness not forgetting fate and prophecies, not many people noticed that Oedipus is also a little bit selfish, not on the whole, just a tiny a little bit. in my opinion i think when he decided to find Laois murderer, fearing that he could be next shows selfishness eventhough the ulterior motive was to help his subjects, that is just my opinion.
something else i noticed was also the fact that Lacoste did not notice the scars on Oedipus's ankle. just slightly curious.
