A taking apart of the whole and examining the pieces is what the analysis is of "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, the analysis focuses on what the literary techniques are and how they contribute to a better understanding of the play. For example, dramatic irony is a technique whereby the audiences understands situations more clearly that do the characters experiencing them. Additionally, analysis looks at the play in terms of the structures of introduction, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution and actual conclusion. For example, the actual conclusion is the parting comment of the departing chorus in the exodus, or final act of the play.
