Teiresias-my hero

Teiresias is one of the important characters in the drama entitled Oedipus Rex by Sophocles. As we all know, Teiresias is a physically blind man. But, it does not mean that he is weak as he is actually ‘stronger’ than Oedipus. He is the blind man that comes to tell Oedipus the real situation but as Oedipus is the intellectually blind king does not accept Teiresias words. His coming to Oedipus’s palace is the starting to the misery of the king. Through this drama, we can actually see that Teiresias is a special character. Although he is blind, he knows everything happens accurately for examples, who are Oedipus’s real parents which Oedipus himself doesn’t know it. More, he knows who is the murderer of the former king of Thebes, King Laïos, who is actually Oedipus’s real father. For me, Teiresias is the character who is very special as he may does not has the ability to see but he can see through his heart.
