How does applying the theories of Russian formalism, semiotics and structuralism to a play, Oedipus the King,?

can greatly deepen understanding of the play.
Where in the play are there reference to 3's turn or where anything made of 3's. Also, why are there so many 3's in the Oedipus myth? Whatz the significance of Sophocles putting so many in this play? THey are pointing the original Greek audience towards something. What is that?

Why haven't you visited your local library, where you can read all about that. Also you can read about why they choose to maintain simplicity and order for a very complicated play..
