Honor the ache and play the pain(but keep most of it covered)” (On Characterization, p. 77-78).…

    The play by Sophocles “Oedipus the King” develops the theme of blindness throughout the entire play through three of its central characters: Oedipus, Tiresias, and Jocasta. Oedipus is blind not only to whom he has killed, but also to what his life has consisted of up until the point that he killed Laius; Tiresias the prophet is physically blind; Jocasta is blind in wanting nothing but the best for her child. Through these three main characters they are not only showing that blindness does not just occur in sight but also in hearing and speaking as well. Oedipus thinks that he is one of the only people who is doing something good for the town of Thebes because he has solved the riddle of the Sphinx; instead he is destroying the town of Thebes apart by killing Laius and having blindness towards who Laius even was.…
