Dramatic Irony- Dramatic irony is the base of King Oedipus. It is where the the readers or audience knows what is really going on. How he killed his father and married his mother where as King Oedipus and the rest of the crew doesn't know it. You see the the characters find out where you knew it all along.
Sophocles lead a life of privilege but was devoted to the service of state. He died, "leaving Athens materially exhausted and spiritually wrecked by the physical and moral strains of the conflict."
The introduction sets up the background of the play. The time period, the choice of government, The struggles the people went through to get to success, but never got it. The introduction helps the readers better understand the book before they read the first story: King Oedipus.
The chorus is a real person. In the story the represent the elders or the community, voicing their opinion about the conflicts in the story. They also give the themes in the play. Always having something to say.
