The similarities between the Antigone, Sophocles, Oedipus, and Tragedy articles are very noticeable. To start out, Sophocleas was the one who wrote the tragic plays about Oedipus and Antigone. Antigone is Oedipus' daughter in these plays, which draws another connection. Both plays have to do with tragedy in the fact that Oedipus lives a cursed life (marrying his mother, killing his father, and blinding/banishing himself), while Antigone defys the law and buries her brother, which ends up with her being killed herself. Sophocles was one of the three ancient Greek tragedians, and his plays show that well. He puts together each play very well, showing character development, life lessons, and tragedy.
