Using what we have read thus far, list the line numbers for every instance of foreshadowing from Teiresias and Creon. Then, explain what you believe the purpose of such prophecies is. Do they say something about Oedipus? About the themes of the play? About human nature? Be as clear as possible.
List line numbers for every reference you can find regarding light, brightness, sight, darkness, blindness, night, and day. Then, explain again what you believe the purpose of such references is, i.e. why Sophocles would want to include such a motif.
List as many religious allusions as you can find. Then, explain which God(s) are invoked with the most frequency and why you believe that to be the case.
What is Oedipus’s hamartia in this scene? List line numbers as evidence of any character flaws, or cite the tone of a particular passage. What does Oedipus say to Teiresias that may have angered the Gods?
