Blindness and Sight - Irony and Lack of Vision in Oedipus the King

The blindly satiric king of "Oedipus the King" has only one definition of "seeing". I can see the table, I can see your point of view, I can see the real you, I can not see what you are saying. Sometimes blind people can "see" more than what they see. In horror movies and terrorist incidents people may cover their eyes and choose not to see the truth. As a human being, we are often rooted in the material world, become ignorant and can not see the most obvious truth. Oedipus, the protagonist of Sophocles' play "Oedipus the King", could not see the truth, but the blind telepathy "understand".

The irony of Oedipus in the play and the sarcastic of his sight, Oedipu, Sophocles means the scene and blindness connecting past attitudes and knowledge. In this drama, ironically, Oedipus does not realize this is obvious to the reader. He is very proud of his tragic flaws. It was ashamed of him. Edepus, which makes me blind, symbolizes the growth, sensitivity, and ultimately 'see' ability of knowledge. He can now see the flaws of his arrogant attitude and the result of his pride. From the beginning, Edips was blinded to pride. Along with the death of Thebes city, Kryon came from Apollo God and talked about how to stop plaque. When he does not enter the palace to talk with Kryon, there will be examples of arrogance of Oedipus. He insisted on talking in front of citizens. Kryon says that the only way to stop plaque is to find the killer of Rolls before.

Blindness played a dual role in the tragedy of Sophocle 'King Eddips'. First, Sophocles regarded blindness as a physical obstacle that affected spiral Teiresias and later Oedipus; but later blindness meant that the behavior of bad people and the consequences of the results were not seen. Ironically, Oedipus has talent, but he looks blind. Contrary to Tiiresias, he is weak, but you can see the evil that Oedipus has ... they I am at Sophok. Les' Ossex Rex seems to be easy to understand how blindness affects the transformation of the story. Blind people are said to be watching "in a different way". That is because it recognizes the world in a totally different way like Teiresias Oedipus Rex. Murdered his father, King Reus, and married his mother, Jocasta, and made himself blind until the end of the content. Edips is blinded to the truth
