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>
