Oedipus Rex Sight vs. Blindleness
Sophocles uses imagery of sight and blindness to show how some people think they see everything but in reality they are blind Oedipus who can physically see believes he can find who killed king Laios, but is blind to the fact that he killed him. When Teiresias confronts Oedipus and tells him “you yourself are the pollution of this country”, Oedipus goes into a rage and banishes him from Thebes (Sophocles 355). Oedipus is a very arrogant and stubborn person. He took his anger and frustration out on Teiresias and that wasn’t fair
