OEDIPUS: But when he comes, I'll be a wicked man if I do not act on all the god reveals OEDIPUS: My royal kinsman, child of Menoeceus, what message from the god do you bring us?

Answer 1

Answer:

But when he comes, I'll be a wicked man if I do not act on all the god reveals

Explanation:

Based on what is known of the play, Oedipus is a stubborn man who refused to do the wishes of the oracle so the line that would best portray irony is the line that he says he'll be a wicked man if he does not act on what the god reveals.

Eventually, according to his fate, King Oedipus refuses to do the wishes of the oracle.
