In the play Oedipus Rex, Oedipus kills his father due to jealousy in loving his mother.

The statement is false because Oedipus kills his father, King Laius, unknowingly and unintentionally, not out of jealousy in loving his mother. In the play "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles, Oedipus seeks to uncover the truth behind the plague that has fallen upon Thebes. As he investigates, he discovers that he himself inadvertently killed his father years ago at a crossroad, without knowing his true identity. He was trying to protect himself, not motivated by jealousy or love for his mother, Jocasta, whom he unknowingly marries later in the story. Thus, it can be concluded that the action of killing Oedipus' father is not driven by jealousy or love for his mother.
