What motif is present in both the myth and the modern story?

The correct answer is D. Useless attempts to change fate

Explanation:

In both the myth and the play, the main characters of the story try to avoid a prediction or prophecy. In the case of the myth, Cronus wants to prevent his overthrow, while in the play, Odewale wants to avoid killing his father. However, despite their effort and actions at the end, the prophecy is fulfilled. This shows the fate can not be avoided and any attempt is useless. In this context, one motif (recurrent symbol) in these literary works is "useless attempts to change fate" because in both texts this general idea is shown through the plot and actions of the characters.

the figurative meanings of these lines are questioning the tyger's strength and beauty. the meaning contributes to the overall message of them poem because it is explaining how strong the tyger is.

now just elaborate off of that. : )
