The Mighty

Both Sophocles’s Oedipus Tyrannus and Abolqasem Ferdowsi’s, The Tale of Sohrab, follow the same theme, which is tragedy. Both are very similar in how they lead up to the tragic end of the protagonists in each play. We do not see the overall theme until the end of the plays but both are unquestionably the tragic ends of two great men. Oedipus Tyrannus is the tragic story of a man fated to kill his father and bed his mother (Sophocles, 2016). We see the protagonist, Oedipus, go through a great…

fluency, who is to deny the Puritan woman respect. I too, though versed in Mother’s humility, might have attained a portion of her achievements with half Father’s training, were he still alive.

In “The New Colossus” By Emma Lazarus, the 14-line sonnet written in an iambic pentameter tells a story through the mind of The Statue Of Liberty as it gives us the feeling that she is alive. Reading the poem for the first time, a reader would get lost in the meaning Lazarus is trying to explain. Her use of poetic devices helps create a vivid and effective way to bring Lady Liberty to life and give a deeper meaning to what the poem as a whole. A poem meant to help support the building the statue…

factor to his hubris, which causes him (in the play) to invoke the wrath of the divine and cause the Persians’ downfall.

What this shows…
