Abstract

The article aims to understand the extent to which the Senecan style of the prologue is at the service of Oedipus’ characterization as a person dominated by fear, shame, lack of self‑ confidence, social isolation and inner division, and, ultimately, by a process of Verfremdung, ‘distancing effect’, that prevents the identification of the public with the character and raises in him an attitude of critical and rational distance from the affectus of the same identification.
