Similarities Between Oedipus And Acquainted With The Night

In the poem Acquainted with the Night, the author Robert Frost expresses many of things by using expressionism. As did author Sophocles in the story Oedipus the King. The theme in both stories whats fate and free will, no matter how hard you try things that are meant to happen will happen and you cant run from it. In Oedipus, Oedipus tried to run from it and really just ran into it and in the poem Acquainted with the Night, they tried to run but the night still came and they couldn't change that. The both expressed the idea of vision and looking away from what they shouldn't have. They both showed that the character in their stories left and went outside of their towns area for a reason of running away from something. They have both been at
their lowest lows and tried leaving it but in the end they were both brought together with the thing in which they were running from in the first place. No one from which either of them started called them back or crossed their mind of going back for a reason specific to the individual characters
