It tells the chronicle about a young Greek who was preordained to massacre his father, wed his mother, and in the process become the King of Thebes—before ultimately meeting his downfall due to his own conduct. The author, Sophocles, has really done a spectacular job of entailing several literary diplomacies in his epic piece of writing. Not only does he incorporate dramatic irony, but he integrates symbolism, trilogies, tragedies, hamartia, and hubris in his mesmerizing manuscript. Furthermore, in Oedipus Rex, Sophocles uses mystifying imagery, despondent tone, and catastrophic drama to epitomize the shift from glorious to demoralizing, proving that Oedipus was an undiscerning tragic hero who was too blind to notice his own particular outlook. Irony is often seen as an indispensable and crucial facet to Greek plays, or perhaps any play in that matter.
