Anger is expressed for various reasons. Wave with many divisions and levels, it includes different types. Anger is a powerful emotion that reveals a person's state. Often this emotion is uncontrollable because it serves to reward what has been lost and creates positive and negative effects. This is especially evident when expectations and goals are not met or do not correspond to reality. In Sophocles' Oedipus the King and Shusaku Endo's Silence, the protagonists experience anger for different reasons. Sebastian Rodrigues' non-acceptance of others for their lack of moral values ​​and dignity, as well as Oedipus' pride and indignation, results in a similar result of emotional change. Driven by pride, he shows harshness towards those who, in his opinion, have the audacity to mistreat him unjustly. When Teiresias refuses to tell him about the murderer, Oedipus responds: “What, nothing? You miserable old man! You would make a stone angry. Are you still refusing? Your hard heart is plunged into desperate stubbornness” (Sophocles 19). Through his questions, his anger awakens. “Old man” (Sophocles 19) is a connotation to degrade Teiresias while “stone” (Sophocles 19) is personified to burst out in anger due to his repugnance. Likewise, his heart is personified as being a recreater for plotting with a supposed assassin. After Teiresias reveals that Oedipus is guilty, Oedipus alleges: “So this is what he wants, Creon the faithful, Creon goodbye my friend! Steal to overthrow and snatch! (Sophocles 22). Accusing Creon with his sarcastic tone, positive adjectives such as “loyal” (Sophocles 22) and “friend” (Sophocles 22) also reinforce the feeling of betrayal. While he is unfairly assumed, berated and accused of self-centeredness...... middle of paper ... and possibilities are hindered by pride, and the most unexpected and impossible can happen. Often people are oblivious to their own faults by unknowingly committing the same wrongdoings and berating others. By judging others, they become the very aspect and evil they hate. Oedipus's anger, although unaware of the entire situation, seems more justifiable than that of Rodrigues who continues to criticize people after seeing the full perspective of the situation. It focuses on a narrower view rather than evaluating it as a whole. The two characters present different aspects of anger and ask the question: "How much of anger is justifiable?" » Perhaps the message the authors wanted to convey was that human beings are biased due to their limited perspective and therefore fallible. This is a permanent and innate flaw from which we must learn lessons.
