Assignment #10

The play "Oedipus the King" is an interesting story in which the themes are not always easy to understand, but for sure very facinating. In this story some elements play an important part to give the special mathis that Sophocles intended to put in this story, those elements such as sight, ignorance, truth,and darkness make a net between them. Those elements are presisely important because denotes the opocitions and similitudes in the play. ignorance has the ability to blind a person in the way they persive the live and issues that surendig them, like for Oedipus who got blind with the execive pride of the power he possesed, and the sight and truth made a good match, because over this mix the person can open his mind to the reality, like happen to Oedipus when he descover the true about his origen and the insest he had comited with his mother and crime to his father. well all those elements as I said before made Sophocle's story in an autentic drama.
