Oedipus Rex & the Book of Job/ A Comparison

Abstract: A 3 page analysis of the play, 'Oedipus Rex,' by the ancient Greek playwright Sophocles and the Book of Job from the Bible's Old Testament. Both stories tell of men who were tested by divine forces. In two very different stories, both men eventually come to accept the inevitability of the will of the divine. They each come to the understanding that the will of the divine cannot be thwarted and that the only recourse available to them is resignation and obedience. No additional sources cited.
