First of all, I'd recommend you type "Oedipus" in the Blurtit Search window, as quite a few Blurters have written on this topic and you could find something helpful. As for your specific question, Oedipus is a typical tragic hero in that he is a high-placed person who in many ways brings about his own downfall. The play itself, with its shockingly violent yet logical climax, provides the catharsis (literally "purging" through pity and terror) which Aristotle defined as the essence of tragedy. Also, order is restored at the end, as is usual in tragedy.
