The moment in oedipus the king where oedipus realizes he killed his father and married his mother is called
a) the hubris
b) the parados
c) the exodus
d) the anagnorisis

The correct answer is D, as the moment in Oedipus the King where Oedipus realizes he killed his father and married his mother is called the anagnorisis.

Anagnorisis is a narrative resource that consists in the discovery by a character of essential information about his identity, his loved ones or his environment, hidden for him up to that moment. The revelation alters the behavior of the character and forces him to get a more accurate idea of himself and his surroundings. Anagnorisis also occurs when a main character reveals his identity until then hidden or veiled to other secondary characters thus changing the relationship, usually from a weak or non-existent link (a beggar or simple guest) to a strong link (the son of an enemy who claims vengeance, the return of a long-absent king, etc ...), producing a turning point in the story that makes it move towards its outcome.

A classic example of anagnorisis in the Greek tragedy is found in "Oedipus the King" of Sophocles, when Oedipus learns that the person he had killed was his father and that his wife is his mother.

answer d

explanation:

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
