First of all‚ Oedipus as a hero who has save the country from the beast Sphinx‚ he himself is a brave and kindly person

Also‚ the plot includes multiple situations of violence such as the killing of late King Hamlet‚ Gertrude‚ Laertes‚ and Hamlet. The killing of these main characters derives from acts of revenge and selfishness‚ as they all represent inhumane qualities. Though other events in this play exhibit violence‚ such as the killing of late King Hamlet‚ Polonius

characters are often very wrong about the females in the play. The men completely misread the women and in Ophelia and Gertrude’s situation‚ the consequences are very tragic. In order to address this issue‚ it is necessary to explore the characters of Gertrude and Ophelia in Hamlet and the characters of Hero and Beatrice in Much Ado about Nothing‚ and in addition‚ how they are treated by other characters. This will then enable me to pass my own judgement‚ as to how the women are represented in the two

Oedipus is convinced that his friend Creon has betrayed him. So therefore his wife Jocasta convinces him not to kill Creon. She tries to convince her husband that Creon is innocent. As proof‚ she offers the fact that the Delphic oracle told Laius he would be murdered by his son‚ while actually his son was cast out of Thebes as a baby and

fortunate. The play “Oedipus Rex” by Sophocles demonstrates that this concept of free will and fate would lead to Oedipus’s downfall. Oedipus learns of his fate and immediately tries to prevent it; even his parents did the same. The actions Oedipus‚ Jocasta‚ and Laios took actually fulfilled the prophecy the Oracle told them. The fact that Oedipus tried to avoid his prophecy‚ he falls right into it. Sophocles illuminates that Oedipus’s pride‚ ignorance‚ arrogance and disbelief in the gods‚ and unrelenting

themes which stood out to me that are elaborately used throughout the story and play a major role in giving this play its dramatic effect; fate‚ ignorance‚ and shame. The theme of fate is introduced early on in Oedipus’ infancy. As an infant‚ he had been abandoned by his parents‚ Laius and Jocasta‚ the king and queen of Thebes‚ because a prophecy warned that their son would kill his father and marry his mother. They instructed a servant to leave him on a mountain to die. The infant’s feet were pierced and pinned together‚ but he was not left on

Oedipus the King revolves around characters’ attempts to change their destiny (which fails) - Jocasta and Laius’s killing of Oedipus and Oedipus’s flight from Corinth.
