Irony in Oedipus And Story Of An Hour

Literature makes it possible for people to experience and learn lessons of life through text. One of the most commonly used literary devices is ironic. Ironic is a difference between appearance and reality, or when assuming that a reader is expecting a single thing, the opposite can be defined to be true. It allows the author to participate and surprise the audience, which usually tells important lessons. Two classic examples of irony through literature are Sophocles '"Oedipus King" and Kate Chopin' s "One Hour Story".

In the play, Sophocles of King Oedipus built a whole story with dramatic sarcasm. Even though Oedipus does not know his existence, Sophocles uses dramatic sarcasm to inform the real identity of Oedipus and suggests what will happen through the story. Sophocles used various scenes depicting dramatic sarcasm in the play. The three most important are the curse of Oedipus against him, the insult to Tyrrhian of Edeps, and the forecast fortune teller Edps.

The Sophocles play "Oedipus the King" (also known as Oedipus Dynasty) contains many examples of dramatic satire and sarcasm of the situation. The biggest example of a dramatic satire is this brief speech by Oedipus who cursed his father's murderer. This is a dramatic sarcastic since Oedipus does not know who his father parent is; in fact, he is the murderer of his father. Therefore, Oedipus actually cursed himself. The audience knew his parents, but Edipus did not know it unfortunately. This is one of the earliest examples of tragic satire.

In Sophocles' play "Oedipus the King", the author shows us some dramatic sarcasm. When the audience understands the meaning of the situation rather than the role in the drama, there is a dramatic sarcasm. Dramatic satire plays an important role in "Edips the King." Because it explains the arrogance of Edepus, so as not to look to the truth. The audience should know the history of Edipus in front of him. In the first three episodes, Edpsus used many dramatic satire in the speech.
