In sophocles's greek tragedy oedipus the king, oedipus discovers that he has unknowingly killed his biological father and married his birth mother. the horror of this truth causes jocasta, oedipus’s wife/mother, to hang herself and oedipus to stab himself in the eyes. what element of greek tragedy do these final two acts give expression to?

The elements are Anagnorisis, Catharsis and Peripeteia

Explanation:

This piece of theater written by Sophocles presents several elements of the Greek tragedy, which are: anagnorisis which is the recognition of who is, in the case of Oedipus the murderer of his father, and husband of his mother; the peripeteia that is the passage to fortune for the misfortune of the hero; the catharsis that is the moment of commotion in the audience, when the hero, who was made for the audience to identify with him, suffers the consequences of his tragic failure with the peripécia. Thus, we have in Oedipus King many elements for the constitution of a work of complete Greek tragedy

a story is an account of imaginary or real people and events told for entertainment and a novel long narrative

i would say that these are the two thesis statements best for a literary analysis essay on recurring themes in shakespeare's romeo and juliet:

1.  in romeo and juliet, shakespeare demonstrates that love comes in a variety of forms, be it romantic, familial, or between friends.

2.  shakespeare explores the struggle for identity through the character of juliet in his play romeo and juliet.

the other theses aren't reoccurring in this play.
