Sophocles shows the audience who Oedipus really is through the use of irony. Through the use of irony the audience understands why Oedipus is stubborn to learn about his past. Oedipus’s story is the epitome of irony, one example is when Oedipus responds to Creons’ message on how they can get ride of the plague upon Thebes. Creon tells Oedipus they must find the killer of Laius, the original king of Thebes, and he must be punished. Oedipus being a diligent king begins to search for the killer and…

sea, there is a boat, a lion and a boy, but no water. However, Pi understands the necessity of water. Being deprived of it, he calls it “liquid life” when it touches his lips, quenching his thirst.

religious messages are only messengers (prophets), not to be mistaken as God(s). These messengers in Islam include, but are not limited to Muhammad (pbuh), Jesus (pbuh), and various other messengers. These people are seen as prophets and carriers of the message they were sent to give to their people. God is seen as one. He has no son, mother, or father. Although Islam does recognize Jesus and the bible, the interpretations are quite different. Jesus is seen as a prophet/messenger of God sent to…

There was a long pause, despair hanging in the air. "He was among the slain counted in the Battle of Tref," the messenger finally said. It was as if that terrible news was the last straw for her. The woman looked down, her eyes becoming moist. Soon he could see tears streaming down her cheeks. Her entire body convulsed with sobs, and her son could only look on…

something, not truly understand it, or be unable to vocalize a message can be distressful in an entirely different way than waiting for a message. In Franz Kafka’s “A Message from the Emperor’, a messenger tries endless to get a message across to an anonymous person, but is never successful. The messenger is the only one whom the Emperor told his message, and now that the Emperor is dead, no one may ever know what the message truly was. Similar anticipation can be seen in a few of the works…

the course of events takes a turn to the opposite”(Russell). Peripeteia occurs in Oedipus the King when Jocasta insists Oedipus talk to a messenger from Corinth to prove that the prophecies are false. Although the messenger comes to confirm that the prophecies are false, he brings new information to light, which only confirms the prophecies more. First the messenger reveals that Polybus was not Oedipus’ true father, “Polybus was nothing to you, that’s why, not in blood… You were a gift, years…

Sophocles’ Antigone raises the argument that it is better to honor the laws of a god rather than adhere to the laws of man. This debate arises through the actions of Antigone, who by disobeying Kreon’s edict to not bury Polynieces, believes that she honors the gods by burying her fallen brother. This conflict causes the audience to ponder which of the two characters deserves their sympathy since both suffer serve losses by the end of the tragedy. However, Antigone earns the sympathy of the…
