The weird and Unhappy Teiresias

Teiresias?
What a name to be remembered in the class when I have to learn the greek play called Oedipus Rex. Edu 3217 fulls of suprises and lots of weird names in the play. And you Teiresias? Of cause, one of the main characters in the play. One thing for sure that I noticed was you are blind. But in the play you was consider as a prophet. There’s something weird about you actually. In my opinion, prophet should be perfect but in the play you were blind. I still wondered how on earth they could associate you with prophet.
Frankly speaking you characteristic and appearance really gave impact to the play that I learned in the class. I have read some of the articles in the internet where they said that there are several reasons what makes you blind. One of the articles mentions the word Athena. She was one of the goddess in Greek mythology where it was said that you saw her taking bath. The other article said that you were hit a pair of copulating snakes with his stick. Hera was very angry with you and she turned you into a woman. How this thing can happened? The last article about you that I have wrote in the internet said that you were drawn into an argument between Hera and her husband Zeus, which related to the theme of who has more pleasure in sex. And gave a truthful answer, but again you had made Hera angry again and struck you blind for the immorality. What a sad story for you Teirisias.
In the play Oedipus Rex, I would say that you were a man with knowledge. That was reason why King Oedipus called you in order to seek the truth. The king wanted to know more about the previous king plus who was the murderer of King Laois. While analyzed the play, I could said that you were also a passionate man. You show others that although you were mocked by Oedipus, still you were able to remain calm and stick to your thought and action.
In the end, I should mention that I am very impress with your character in the play, Oedipus Rex. Edu 3217 taught me different ways of looking and analyzed the characters in the plays or dramas. In the real life, I for sure would apply this method in order for me to understand others better.
