Blog Post 8: According to Teiresias, what can Oedipus see? What can’t he see? What might this suggest about how Teiresias understands Oedipus’s authority as king?

The Seer "Teiresias"

Welcome Back To My Blog ! : Segment 8 According to Teiresias, what can Oedipus see? What can’t he see? What might this suggest about how Teiresias understands Oedipus’s authority as king?

             Who Is Teiresias?

•  he is a really old guy
• he is blind
• he is a seer
• he could see what the "future holds" 
• he doesn't fancy Oedipus 
• he is rude
• he might be blind be he could hear everything 
• his lips are moving 
• wise man

 according to the seer Teiresias what Oedipus could see is lies. because Oedipus doesn't believe what This seer has to say because  he has no proof he is a bin man and he can't even be a witness to what happened.however what Oedipus soon finds out that he has no idea who he actually is and thats all Teriresia testes Oedipus patience in the beginning (telling him whats the deal , and saying he can't handle the truth YIKES !) further on Oedipus does some investigations on the death of king Laius ( but this could be his down fall that the " seer was trying to tell Oedipus all along). what this might suggest about how Teiresias understands Oedipus authority as king is he doesn't want the town people to turn their back on him because he has to be the one to save their lives again for the second time.when Apollo's word came back (lines 460) he might still have left the murder of Laius...

Blog Post 7: What has Oedipus has vowed to do in avenging the former King Laius?

WELCOME BACK TO MY BLOG: SEGMENT 7  What has Oedipus has vowed to do in avenging the former King Laius?

King Laius

King Oedipus

Based on the reading (lines 131-171)what Oedipus had vowed in avenging the former king Laius is that Oedipus was so arrogant. what showed this was in lines 160  he didn't know who killed King Laius ( or really who he was he just knew he was a king and Jocostas Ex ). But it seemed like he just confessed on killing King Laius. it states that 

"... that Apollo demonstrates his care for the dead man and worthy of you too" which clearly means what ever trick that Oedipus try to pull of will come right back to him sooner or later. But he vowed to find out who killed the king and put an end to this madness this could be found in the passage lines. 160-170.

WELCOME BACK TO MY BLOG:Segment 6 Where Have You Seen A Character Like Oedipus Before? 

                                                 Who Is Oedipus?

Oedipus 

• he is a king
• he is lazy
• he doesn't care for anyone but himself at the moment 
• he has a brother 
• he made his brother CREON do his dirty work
• he is greek
• he solved a riddle to make himself king
• probs a victim of killing someone 
• he might have a curse on him for solving that riddle *cough cough*

Where Have You Seen A Character Like Oedipus Before? 

i have seen a character like Oedipus in real life and in a book that i was reading call "Princess In the spot light". i have seen a person like Oedipus back when i was in middle school and she was like miss popular ( really ) and she had a brother too and she would black mail people because she had did a favor for one of my good mates and due to that favor ( it was a big favor : copying her math homework) that she had done. she had helped my mate with this huge favor. Next its the new semester miss popular made someone do her dirty work on doing her science homework because the science teacher was really strict ( he would give you a big fat zero in front of your face and in front of the whole class. but of course she got what she  wanted. In the book "Princess In the spot light" the protagonist  soon to be step father was just like oedipus he was about to be a king because the  protagonist mother husband died and she was looking for love instead of a riddle the man won her heart kinda like love at first sight (no pun intended : Romeo and Juliet). but this man was just so unbearable he was so lazy and you tell him to do something he will do it but he will make someone else do it and then he would take credit for it.

But It Was A Productive Week I Went Shopping Cause Spring Time Is Coming And High School *COUGH COUGH* (Cobble Hill) Is Like A Run Way You Have To Dress To Impress (i just went to American Apparel, forever 21 , urban outfitters , BBW  ..ETC ) ...

And the best thing happened Friday ( Feb 20 ) two famous beauty guru's on youtube noticed my edits that i made on Instagram ( like fan edits ) that was the best day i guess out of the week cause i was on #fan girl mode (0-100 real quick as typical teens would say). But that how my week was noting grand just a typical week.

Saturday....

Saturdays... this wasn't a ordinary Saturday. this Saturday is hard to describe or its just un-descriable. it was full of long naps , no homework , no public transportation , just me ,myself , and my big queen size bed. it was just me and Netflix all day long and of course breakfast in bed. but UNTIL my wifi stopped working. i tried to do my homework for the break and i guess it was just not meant for me to do it today. maybe it was a sign from the heavens above not to do my packets and projects today and just be focused on me. I mean it was a long school week and i was waiting  for this week to be over.
other then that it was a super chilled day , the wifi was fixed , and my homework is 77% done...
