- 8107: The Use Of Symbolism In The On
- ... how many really do? The author seems to use the symbol of this child to make the readers, as members of society, become aware of issues such as this, that are occurring frequently in the world today. In the story, it seems as though the citizens of Omelas are denying what the child is forced to go through. Although they become aware of the conditions the child is subject to, and ... a good thing, indeed; but if it were done, in that day and hour all the prosperity and beauty and delight of Omelas would wither and be destroyed."

- 8109: Oedipus Rex 2
- ... philosophers have expressed their views about how the life of man is ultimately defined in their works. The Greeks have played their part in this quest. One of the great plays of the ancient Greek world that led the way for others was Sophocles Oedipus Rex. In this play, Sophocles shows us a chapter from the life of man. Throughout the book, he hints at the idea that life poses a riddle for man to solve thereby being a quest for the answer. He also hints to us that life is seemingly predetermined by the gods desires, giving rise to a fated world. Finally, Sophocles also believes that life is filled with paradox and irony. Given these difficulties, Sophocles regards the life of man with utmost respect and admiration. In Oedipus Rex, it is Oedipus who represents Sophocles ... universal for all men to live through this cycle, Oedipus dealings with riddles also plague him with tragedy, ignorance, and innocence.
