Well, we can edit a little!
Oedipus Rex was a kind hearted soul who was in search of the truth about the death of the late King Liaos, but the truth he revealed was more than he could handle.
This is a good start... intriguing!
Now make 3 more cool statements, and let each of them become the first sentence for each of your 3 body paragraphs. Then, write a great thesis statement that threads them all together, and put the thesis statement at the end of the first paragraph.

Need input on my working thesis; Oedipus The King
Hi, I'm having trouble developing a strong thesis and would really love some input on my working thesis's. I've never been much of a writer so any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance :D (Oedipus Rex)
What led to Oedipus's ultimate downfall was his arrogance, misguided belief in free will and his views on the supernatural.
Another idea I had for a thesis was to talk about Sophocles use of sight in the play, but couldn't think of how to word it. I also thought that I couldn't write a long essay just on one metaphor.
My last idea was on how the play demonstrated Sophocles strong religious beliefs. (Kinda Dumb :/)
ANY INPUT IS APPRECIATED, Thanks !

I will try an recall want I learnt from reading Oedipus.
1) you could talk about the blind priest
Although he was blind, he understood what was going on better than Oedipus. he tried to prevent it from happening, but Oedipus was too eager.
Talk about the blind guys knowledge. and you can see from the play written in this era(the greeks) that the blind and old serves as the truth and the light e.g DANTE'S 9 circle of hell etc
2 Oedipus had it great but what lead to is downfall was a couple of things
1)he was too self righteous to question if he was a possible suspect
2) he had too much pride to not heed the advice of the blind priest
3) he was not patient with his brother, i think, before he banished him from the kingdom
3) finally, the wife/mother was, in my opinion, was the devil in disguised.
You could conclude by asking and answering this question.
Are we bounded by fate or destiny,can our fate be changed , is there hope for man.
Answer this question based on your experience and the ending of Oedipus .\
Hope i help. sorry i could not remember some details .LOL.
