SUICIDE....
Once Oedipus finds out that he killed Laius and married his mother, Jocasta, everything goes down hill from there. Once Jocasta hears about this news, she runs into the royal bedroom and hangs herself before anyone can save her. This affects Oedipus because as he discovers her dead, he rips the brooches off of her clothes, and uses the pins the stab his eyes out. |
