This study was attempted to discuss issue of woman raised in drama Oedipus the King written by Sophocles. The drama portrayed Oedipus' life in the past before he was born until he was gone away from his kingdom. Oedipus' character is known as a king of Thebes who kills his own father, Laius and marries his own mother, Jocasta. However, this study concerns about woman in this case is Oedipus' mother, namely Jocasta in the drama, especially about woman's characters connected to the moral values that are implied in the portrayal of Jocasta. In analyzing the issues, the writer used qualitative method by elaborating dialogues, events, acts and conflicts in the drama and applying the objective theory by Abrams, intrinsic approach by Wellek and Warren and the other supporting information about moral values by Hildebrand which is related to the focus of the study.
