1) What kind of a person does Oedipus seem to be in the first scene?

Oedipus is firstly a moral and sympathetic character. Oedipus is a respected character for many reasons. He is noble and brave. He earns respect at Thebes for solving the riddle of the Sphinx and freeing the city.

Explanation:

Oedipus is overconfident at the start of Oedipus the King, and with good cause. He has almost single-handedly saved Thebes from the Sphinx's curse and ascended to the throne. Oedipus demonstrates his arrogance by being hasty, jumping to conclusions, and refusing to listen.

These traits make Oedipus the King a great king who anticipates his subjects' needs, as we witness at the beginning of the play. When the inhabitants of Thebes ask him to intervene in the epidemic, for example, Oedipus is one step ahead of them, having previously dispatched Creon to Delphi's oracle for counsel. But, as we'll discover later, Oedipus's proclivity for responding quickly has a dark side. When Oedipus relates the account of murdering a group of travellers who tried to push him off a three-way crossroads, he demonstrates his willingness to act rashly.

for this, you need to remember something significant in your own life, for example, if you were bullied when you were younger, you can mention your memories on this and touch on how such treatment can harm other kids your age either physically or mentally. (racism, car crashes, a parent in the hospital are all very good subjects, think hard on it! )
