Is it the exposition inciting incident climax or denouement when Oedipus realizes that he is his father's killer and his mother's husband in 'Oedipus Rex'?
It is the climax when Oedipus realizes that he is his father's killer and his mother's husband in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the term climax describes the turning point of highest drama and tension. The description fits Theban King Oedipus realizing that all the prophecies are true in regard to his predicted fate.
Who delivers the exposition in the video 'Oedipus Rex'?
The exposition is the setting forth of the play. It comes from the Latin preposition 'ex' for 'out', and the Latin infinitive 'ponere' for 'to place'. That role is taken by one of the actors in the 1957 film version of 'Oedipus Rex' by Sir William Guthrie [July 2, 1900-May 15, 1971]. The actor holds his mask and wears blue robes while he explains the story. But nowhere within the film's credits or on the video jacket is that actor identified.

What is the exposition in the Oedipus rex?
The exposition is a setting forth of the story. It literally means 'putting out'. The English word traces its roots back to the combination of the preposition 'ex', which means 'out'; and the infinitive 'ponere', which means 'to place'.In 'Oedipus Rex', the exposition begins at the play's very beginning, with Oedipus meeting the suppliants at the altar. It ends when the priest leads the Theban citizens off stage and the chorus arrives.In between the beginning and the end, the audience learns that Thebans are asking Theban King Oedipus to save their city from pestilence. The audience also learns that the pestilence is caused by a polluting stain. That stain only can be removed with the killer[s] of previous Theban King Laius being found and punished with execution or exile. The search thus far is hindered by a lack of witnesses other than the sole Survivor of Laius' royal party. According to the survivor, the search needs to be oriented towards tracking down a gang of robbers. Oedipus therefore fears a similar fate for himself and wants a general assembly of the Theban people to be called to start the search again in earnest.
