The relation between fate and free will in Oedipus rex
The relatinship between fate and free will in Oedipus Rex is that characters rely on God and thir king (oedipus) for what the outcome of their life might be. In the story some believe Teiresias who is a blind man whom is also a wise man. The charaters come to him for advice because in their mind since he can't see then he must be have the ability to see the future. Some in the story believe in free will as well. Free will is the belief that people are allowed to make their own decisions in life and no matter what their future might read. In their mind their future is in their hands and is determined by whatever choices they make alone. In my opinion I am a believer of both free will and fate. I Live my life knowing that whatever mistakes or choices I make can affect my life in a good or bad way.

Remember, you are telling us of fate and free will in regards of Oedipus Rex, not your own opinion on the matter. Typos are abundant starting with the second word. The second sentence makes no sense. The third sentence is something you have read into the play, something that is not stated anywhere. You were supposed to include a quote in this writing and have that help prove what you are trying to say. There's a lot of good ideas here, but you have done a poor job developing them.
