They talk about vision a lot in "Oedipus Rex," and being "blind!." This doesn't really mean blind, but rather ignorant to certain knowledge!.

There is also irony here because Oedipus does not understand his own history or the crimes he committed even though he can physically see!.

On the other hand Teiresias, who is physically blind, understands everything that's going on!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't know this book very well (long time)!.!.!.!.but if I remember, it's got some pretty weird scenes!. As far a literature, think of the word "metaphor" as meaning symbolic!. What situations symbolized something else!? For example, when Lady Macbeth said "Out, Damned spot!" She was trying to scrub out a blood stain!. The stain was a symbol her guilt over the assasination!. This scene was a metaphor for Lady Macbeths guilty concience!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
