The Similarities Between 'Head-On Cahit And Sibel's'

The Cost of being Free

“Man is born free, but he is everywhere in chains.” A man is free to do everything as per his will, but then there are some cultural norms, social restrictions, and the destinies which have already been decided. All of these matters frankly chain the man and make him handicapped. The realities of the life confine him, and all his free will goes in vain.

Both the main characters of the movie, Head-on, Cahit and Sibel, two misplaced souls, are confined by the harsh, yet true realities of the life.

The theme of confinement prevails throughout the play. He did whatever was in his limits, but, was still imprisoned by the fate that had already his destiny.

Likewise, in the play “Oedipus the King”, the main message that the play portrayed was that no matter how much one try to run away from the fate, it always follows and even succeeds.
