“Oedipus Rex,” is a Greek play which plays a very important role in constructing the character of a perfect tragedy. Apart from this it also reflects the reality of human existence and the nature of the people of this world. The protagonist of the play ‘Oedipus’ falls a prey to his pride. His pride nature and his refusal to accept the prophecy made by the gods build the path towards his downfall. However, he wanted to escape what his fate had decided for him with his anger and pride but fails in doing so. This play highlights the fact that none can escape from his/her destiny. Fate has that strength which can even lean the wealthiest, the strongest or the most powerful person. Pride and anger can never help a person to progress rather become a reason for their downfall.
Assuming this is still referring to Hemmingway's style, the proper terms would be theme and description, although he was known a lot for his simplicity as well.
