Blindness as it is depicted in Oedipus Rex, signifies the ignorance a character possesses (Oedipus was blind to the clues of his birth).
The Noh Play Production is an interesting Japanese production that contains only male actors, and revolves around Zen Buddism. The Noah play is very simplistic in terms of the design, usually with prayer and front-center stage. It also involves musical structure.

Character * Physical * Socio-economical * Psychological * Moral/Ethical
Noah and his sons is a play with major dramatic structure. It was written in the middle ages, depicting the Great Food. Noah is the main character of the play. In my opinion the major question in this play is, will Noah fulfill God’s orders on a consistent basis? He argued and fought with his wife at all times, they could never be on one accord, and have more good days then bad days in terms of their marriage. His physical appearance in this play was around his 50s and 60s in terms of age. He is introduced in the play to be considered as an old, still aging 600 and some years old. He has a wife and has children. The socio-economical of this play Noah and his sons is that they were believers in Christ but really never obeyed God especially Noah he was very stubborn and never listened to anyone. The Psychological perspective of this play is that Noah mentally disobeyed God in all of his ways in orders. He also threaten to beat his wife, then as they play goes on he and his wife agree stop fighting and become together as one. The moral/ethical perspective of this play is God. It’s simple to respect God and his orders.

    The ability to see is a much more complex ability than just the physical attribute. Most individuals have the ability to see physically but are blind to the reality of certain circumstances. In the play, “Oedipus the King” by Plato, Oedipus, the tragic hero, is not a blind man but cannot see the reality in the outcome of trying to escape his given fate.…

    Blindness In Oedipus Rex

    • 1110 Words
    • 5 Pages

    In literature, blindness has come to be associated with insight and highly sensitive perception. While Oedipus gains awareness to the truth, no longer blind to his past, before blinding himself, he gains a more spiritual sight after blinding himself. Amidst the terror that strikes in the last few scenes of Oedipus Rex by Sophocles, Oedipus is finally able to take control of his fate by stabbing brooches in his eyes and therefore is able to master the goal of deciding his destiny he had been trying to achieve in his life. It’s this blindness that allows him to live spiritually uplifted and no longer concern…

    Being a man of religious background, specifically Roman Catholic, I began read the tablets of Gilgamesh skeptically. However I did notice a significant difference between the Genesis chapters 6 through 9 and the Epic of Gilgamesh. The story of Noah as written in the Holy Bible, under Genesis was written as I believe within a society that carried very strong morals. A belief in something bigger than themselves; and their belief in that one thing was called God. A God that was merciful and compassionate, yet vengeful, in regards to his creation known as mankind. In regards to Noah’s story, God was to banish the word of all creatures including man for the violence state that they had become. In the essence of gender relations, it’s stated in Genesis that God saw how beautiful women were created as the daughters of men. It also mentions how God saved the life of one man and his family from a flood that was to be the end of one Generation, the original generation that got out of control in God’s eyes and the beginning of a fresh start. I also feel that the society, in which the accounts of the bible were written, was one of insecurity and redemption. Maybe the bible was like a code of conduct, with examples in which one at the time could refer too. That there were consequences, to ones actions, however through the act of redemption one could be saved, and forgiven by a merciful God. I don’t see vast examples of gender relations in this story for it speaks between man and God directly.…

    Through Sophocles’ recurring use of the motif of blindness, he elicits sympathy and understanding in the audience, as well as foreshadowing the graphic climax. Initially, Oedipus is ignorant or ‘blind’ to the verity that it was his actions that caused the ‘death in the fruitful flowering of her soil; death in the pastures; death in the womb of the woman; and pestilence’ that had befallen Thebes. This is…

    Oedipus the King Essay

    Oedipus first shows the indirect side of blindness as to being oblivious. Oedipus shows this depiction of blindness through what he states when he talks to Jocasta about the possible misfortunate events in his life. Oedipus says, in an all-knowing tone, to Jocasta, “You have nothing to be afraid of. Even if my mother turns out to be a slave, and I a slave for three generations back, your noble birth will not be called in question.” Even though Oedipus truly believes that he knows everything, even more than the gods and the oracles, he really is in a state of total oblivion regarding whether or not Jocasta is his real mom. Oedipus’ oblivion leads to an abrupt realization that sends his world spiraling.…

    Oedipus the King

    • 965 Words
    • 4 Pages

    In this play, Oedipus the King, there are any references to eyes, sight, and the lacks thereof are made throughout Oedipus the King. There are parts where characters have limited physical sight, such as Teiresias's blindness, and there are also parts where their sight, in the form of perception, is limited. Most importantly, sight is used in the play as a symbol for knowledge, such as the how the oracles and the "seer" (16), Teiresias, can 'see' the truth. The play is about Oedipus's quest for knowledge and his attempts to avoid his fate. The underlying question of Oedipus the King is if one can escape their fate. Sophocles presents this question by using sight as a symbol for knowledge, and then leaves guidance for answering the question by showing that being sighted or blind can determine if one can control their fate.…

    Oedipus The King

    • 3 Pages

    Sophocles, the author of Oedipus the King, uses several literary techniques to support the theme of sight and blindness. The technique he uses the most is irony. The first example of irony relating to sight and blindness is when Oedipus blinds himself after Jocasta kills herself. “He ripped out the golden pins with which her clothes were fastened, raised them high above his head, and speared the pupils of his eyes. ... he raised his hands and struck his eyes again and again.” (Oedipus the King, 73). Second, Oedipus mentions sight many times during the play. He tells Jocasta, “Tell me one more thing that will shed light on this.” (Oedipus the King, page 43), and later says, “It is all clear as daylight now.” (Oedipus the King, page 43). In the beginning of the play, he is told that he does indeed see, “Oedipus, ruler of Thebes, you see us here at your altar… You can see for yourself.” (Oedipus the King, page 6).…

    Oedipus Symbolism

    The first of the two symbolic things is blindness, which is used as a symbol to understanding. There are many references throughout the play about sight, seeing, blindness, and vision. Even though all of these words can essentially refer to the physical sight created by the human eyes, that is not what all of these words refer to in the play. Teiresias was a man who was physically blind and unable to see the things around him through his eyes, however when it comes to spiritual sight he could see everything clearly. Teiresias understood everything that had happened and he warned Oedipus that he did not want to know who killed his father, but Oedipus kept prying. Oedipus was the exact opposite of…
