One day, Oedipus return to see the Oracle, and he said that he was going to kill his father, so he decided to left her “father” and went to the town of the King, without knowing he was his father. Oedipus sews the Queen, his mother, and he fell in love with her. They got married and had a lot of children. When the Queen knew Oedipus was her child she decided to hanged herself, (as Anne) and when Oedipus knew the Queen was his mother, he decided to take out his eyes.
That’s the story, and Morse thought that the Queen was Anne, the King was Charles Richards and their son was Michael, because he was adopted by Mrs. Murdoch, he could be Anne’s son.
Mrs. Murdoch was passing difficult problems, she couldn’t take care of Edward as she wanted because Michael was on hospital, he was very ill. He was losing his vision of one eye and the doctors said it could be possible he came blind.
