A tragic classic. I already knew the story but finally I can say I've also read it. Fate is an interesting thing. I wonder if his fate would've been fulfilled had he not been sent away as a child? You see, he only killed his father and married his mother because he had no idea of their real identities — not because he wanted to specifically harm his parents, which you can also see in his self-destructive reaction to the horrible realisation.

Excellent, but unfortunately most everyone already knows the twist even before opening the book, as it is so well known.
