In Oedipus Rex, what is Jocasta's strengths and weaknesses?

Question

I've got her strengths, but i like her character so much I can't find any weaknesses in her personality.

Thank you!!

Answer 1

Watch her behaviour when she starts to suspect Oedipus is her son. She is in some serious denial. She even notes that Oedipus looks very much like her first husband but insists that her baby died.

Also, in Greek literature, women are almost always weak. The exceptions are Clytemnestra and Lysistrata.
