In Oedipus, catharsis shows up more towards the end of the play where you find out the truth about what happened to him and the fact that he didn't know the truth and everything was the thing that caused the pity and fear in the reader which gave the end of the play a tragic feel.
In Medea, Catharsis is at the beginning of the play because the audience learns about the truth and what is going to happen in the opening remarks. In the end is when the audience feels pity and wants to learn more about what happens. the Catharsis hooks the readers.
In both books, the reader knows what is about to happen and they know the story. also both contain a character that is above average who brings about thier own downfall and evokes pity throughout the audience.
