Oedipus And Blindness Imagery

In the story of King Edps, Sophocles showed exquisitely visual and blind images through the use of tragedy and ignorance. Edepus did not know anything about his incest. And that for the first time led to his blindness. The second example of Edpsus blindness is ignorance of his real parent. The third example of blindness in Oedipus is literal, and after finding his mother's or wife's body, he cast a layer on his body. Sophocles used his skills to create a tragic personality and treated Oedipus as multi-level blindness until eventually blindness.

In Sophocle's "Oedipus the King", visual and blind images are commonly used. Edepsus leads the blindness of the dead prophet Tirezia in the city to blind but aims to "see" the truth about Edips' future. I found that the show 's choir was showing the commitment to the truth about their fear vision and blindness and also the fate of Oedipus. The first sentences Tirecies mentioned in the play are as follows. "I see clearly, compared with those who saw the truth / I am clear, but I will not consider it except in other cases" (608, 359 - 362) . I believe that this statement from Tyrrhias shows that even if he is blinded he knows the truth and that this truth knows to bring great suffering to those who see it . When Oedipus laughed and laughed at Tirissias' words, Tiresias said, "Do you laugh at my blind, let me tell you / You use your precious eyes, / The corrupt house of your life will be blind, Who do you live with --- / Who is your parents? You do not know / you are your own meat and blood, underground death and above Life, and your mother 's father' s double bound curse / One day you will whip you out of this land Their footprints are shaking your eyes, trembling in the dark, and now , You can see the light! "(P. 611, ll 470 - 478). Tiresias tells Oedipus again that if he is only looking for it, he again says that the truth he says is before him.

Sophocles' blind king Oedipus was the depravity of the protagonist Oedipus of the Sophocles play "Oedipus the King". Blindness is not only revealed in the body but also implicit as it refuses to admit that he himself is the murderer of Thebes. Coincidentally, he is also a biological father of Oedipus. To better understand the feelings within the character, the use of light and darkness in the drama is strategically applied. As condemnation
