Reading Oedipus.

“Oedipus the king” is such an interesting play that has many twist and hidden clues that all connect by the end of the reading. It’s hard to think that Oedipus would try to find the real killer, knowing the truth; perhaps he tries to escape that reality and blinds himself from the realism of the situation. The great setting and Greek believes just gives the play an extra mystical interest, that highlights the plot and characters. Perhaps for me the most interesting part of the play, was actually the foreshowing riddles exposed by Tiresias. Tiresias is determent, and is not willing to let the great kind hold his thoughts back, he knows the truth, and perhaps conveys a ironic perspective that was probably intended by the writer. This character is blind but clear in his ideas, in the other hand we have Oedipus a king completely blessed with all his senses, but with an imaginary wall blocking the truth behind the murder and consequently the cure for the plague.
