In Oedipus the King, Sophocles uses blindness and sight as metaphors. Tiresias a physically blind man has a clearer vision than the king Oedipus. Tiresias states "So, you mock my blindness? Let me tell you this, you with your precious eyes, youâre blind to the corruption of your life, to the house you live in, those you live withâ (Sophocles 470-475). Blindness is used as a metaphor for the loss of identity, power, and hope. Meanwhile, a clear vision is used as a metaphor for knowledge and insight. The protagonist Oedipus is "Blind" "You have not truth. Youâre blind. Blind in your eyes. Blind in your ears. Blind in your mindâ (Sophocles 40).
