Teiresias..

Teiresias is discussing with Oedipus on the crisis arised in Thebes when he makes Oedipus miserable. Oedipus starts to abuse the prophet verbally as he thought that he has been betrayed. It foreshadows the later scene when the prophet warns the king and telling him that he is the one who is actually blind. Teiresias is the first character who questions about Oedipus's parentage. He also mentioned that Oedipus is the one who kills his own father and fathered children with his mother. Teiresias remains ne of the most powerful character in the play.

Oedipus Rex

For the first time I read this text of Oedipus Rex, I found it kind of boring whereas the beginning part of the drama is quite slow in the mood. However, later on, it is interesting to stay with the flow of the story due to the part when Oedipus is in dilemma of life and inner conflict of own. Maybe this is what has destined to a wise person like him. God is testing him as though he is an intelligent leader. He is the one who solved the riddle of Sphinx, as a king, he gives light and guidance to his people until the time he tries to fix everything which is discovered. There is no one perfect in this world. Oedipus could not even deny his faith of killing his own father and get married to his mother although he had tried hard to avoid. This drama conveys lots of messages linked to one’s life and fortune.
