Sight vs Blindness

Throughout this story, Oedipus realizes that it got worse in his life. At the end of the story, he decided to be blind. By scratching his eyes. After all was settled, Jocasta talked to himself. I think Oedipus did this because he did not want to see the world without Jocasta. Oedipus saw what Jocasta did, but he thought he did not want to see the world without her. He did not expect to jump out of the conclusion and take his brooch from his clothes and look at his eyes. He is sick because he can not see the lives of people in the village again. He may not be able to see him, but he will think about their life and the future days. For example, when Oedipus was talking to the public, he said: "His old bright eyes are devoid of shiny sockets, because they have become your father due to her ascent, blind, reckless I can not see you in your father 's hand, but I must cry and think about the evil days of the future.

I think this is because he should be able to see what he is king and his kingdom will be with people. But since he has no eyes, he can not live the life he wishes. Therefore, he is depressed and hurts his feelings, and a new king is born in the kingdom soon.

Tiresias replied with the same metaphor: So, do you laugh at my blind? I will tell you this. Do you blind your precious eyes, your corruption of your life, the house where you live, the people living with you, your parents? I know?
