This research paper: A 4 page essay that contrasts and compares the use of symbolism in Sophocles' Oedipus Rex and Shakespeare's Hamlet. The writer argues that both of these playwrights make their points concerning human nature via their use of imagery and symbolism. Sophocles uses the imagery of sight to dramatically illustrate the problems that Oedipus has with perceiving the truth of his situation. Likewise, Shakespeare uses the symbolic element of poison to convey the corruption that pervades the character of Hamlet's uncle and king and which poisons the mind of the young prince. In both plays, symbolism refers to the issue of incest. No additional sources cited.
