oedipus's+essay

In this wonderful greek drama, oedipus is blind in both ways, figurtively and literally.Because he practially lived his whole life full of lies. Which is figuritive. The reason why it is literal,because he killed his father and married his mother. Which made him gauge his eyes out.

The blindness theme in this play made the story line very interesting. King oedipus is one unlucky guy.He got dumped off by his real parents,which he never knew about.Then when he got older his luck changes a little bit,he solved the riddle of the sphinx which made him king. But in that time peroid things started to downfall. He recently found out that he killed his dad and married his mom.So he gauged his eyes out and was asked to be exiled. Now look where he is back to day one. Therefore Oedipus was literally and figurtively blind.

This story taught me a lot of things, such as; be more aware, dont drink and drive, and dont marry your mom. Overall this story was incredible.
