Alice:
Of course, Oedipus is, as are Stencil and Oedipa, a figure subjected
to irony, but of different kinds. Stencil doesn't discover anything to
render him tragic. Oedipa is still waiting to find out. Oedipus
discovers what we know; it is at this moment (see Camus on this) that
he is made tragic. Stencil and Oedipa are absurd, so their quests,
like Sisyphus's are projections of a world that they give meaning to.


Stencil discovers that History is a tragicomedy?
