I chose the character Tiresias because he is the person who knows what is going on with the world around him. Tiresias is a old wise prophet that sees what the gods see. He is a very wise, humble, and all knowing prophet. In “Oedipus the King”, Tiresias tells Oedipus that he is the murderer he hunts, and Oedipus does not believe him.
The moment I captured in the mask is the part where Tiresias is telling Oedipus that he is the murder of the last king and his father and he would marry his own mother. Tiresias in this moment is portrayed as a man who is trying to protect Oedipus by keeping the truth away from him even though it's what Oedipus really needed to hear. Tiresias was then judged and criticized for telling the truth even though
