In the beginning of "Oedipus The King" by Sophocles, Oedipus states that whoever committed the crime will be punished and banished, foreshadowing what will later happen to him. Another foreshadowing occurs when Queen Jocasta mentions that Oedipus looks much alike with Laius, hinting that the two are related. The third and most noticeable foreshadowing is when Tiresias answers the mystery from the beginning, but the king believes it to be a trick, and pursuing the truth causes him to meet his fate.

How can the author's use of similes help to communicate a message to the reader? (Four sentences)
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Simile - a kind of description. A simile compares two things so that the thing described is understood more vividly, eg 'The water was as smooth as glass. A simile can create a vivid image in the reader's mind, helping to engage and absorb them.Generally, a writer uses similes to enable the reader to imagine in his mind what the writer is saying. This is why a writer compares one thing to another with which the reader is familiar. The speaker compares his love to a red rose that has just bloomed.Writers often use similes to introduce concrete images (like boxes of chocolates) into writing about abstract concepts (like life). Readers are more explicitly aware of the direct comparison that's being made with a simile compared to a metaphor, which is often more poetic and subtle.

hope it helps ya :-)
