For this assignment, you'll first write a short compare-and-contrast essay about related themes in Oedipus the King with Pablo P

icasso's The Tragedy. After that, you'll have a discussion about what you've written. Students who aren't able to have a discussion may be directed to upload their compare/contrast essay for your teacher.
Pre-writing Exercise
In at least five hundred words, write an essay that compares and contrasts related themes in Picasso's The Tragedy and Sophocles's Oedipus the King. Begin by identifying at least two common themes. Then compare and contrast how each work addresses the theme. Analyze what is included, as well as what is left out of each composition. Include specific examples from the text or painting of how its medium communicates its ideas.

Use this prewriting exercise as the basis for your discussion. If you are unable to discuss in a collaborative environment, you will simply upload your essay to your teacher.

The assignment wants to know your interpretation of themes in these two works. As acting is a very personal thing, I can't show you how you interpreted the stories, but I can show you how to write this essay.

<h3>Test structure</h3>
  • Introduction: Introduce the two works, their authors, and their impact on literature and society. The introduction must be a short paragraph.

  • Body: Write two paragraphs. In the first paragraph, you will show how the themes in the two stories are similar and manage to show similar messages to the reader. In the second paragraph, you will show how these themes are different and address different messages. These paragraphs must be long.

  • Conclusion: You will summarize the most important points of the essay and emphasize the efficiency of each work in forming relevant and very significant themes for current and ancient society. This paragraph should also be short.

The theme of a story is the message that the author conveys to the reader through the text.

Among the themes of Picasso's The Tragedy we can see:

  1. Human suffering as punishment.
  2. The human loss.
  3. Emotional weakness.
  4. Disillusionment amid failures.
  5. Corrupted morals.

Among the themes of Sophocles' Oedipus the King, we can see:

  • The consequences of punishment.
  • The suffering is caused by punishment.
  • Fate versus free will.

Below you can see an example of how your introduction might be written.

<em> Sophocles' Oedipus the King and Picasso's The Tragedy are two very important works for literature and art in general because of their themes, expressions, and meanings. These themes speak directly to the reader's emotions and manage to trigger emotions, reflections, and self-knowledge in a very imposing way.</em>
