Hurrah for Oedipus Rex!!

To miss Siti Norbaiti..hope you''ll get well soon and be with us again. Mr Edwin gave us one last review at Oedipus Rex and my, what a good one he gave, too. He opened up a lot of new perspectives in my way of looking at Oedipus Rex. Reading the play with him, there are so many dramatic ironies which I haven't been able to identify previously. I'd never noticed how the Oedipus-Teiresias dialogue reveals so much about what would happen later in the play. I personally believe that their tongue lashes were very classy (I'd do it in a classy way too - the physical come-and-get-me way) I never cared that much for Teiresias (you can see that by the posts i've been writing) I have always been rooting for Oedipus. But the other day Teiresias just appeared to be such a inspiring figure and i can't help but to think that if ever we were to do a play production of Oedipus Rex, i''d like the honour to carry out the role of Teiresias. His words to Oedipus were wise and tranquil (he should be, he's the prophet for Heaven's sake!!) One important key word in Oedipus - Dramatic Irony...There are a lot of it all over the script which means that Oedipus was being exposed to his incoming predicament every now and then during his quest to find out about the truth. But he was too blind to detect them and led himself into a dangerous self-inflicted world of truth..Two different meaning of 'blindness' clashed as Teiresias met Oedipus. The same as the one we learnt in reading class where Dr Fauziah said and I quote - "eyes do the looking while heart does the seeing. What your eyes may look might not be seen by your heart,hmmm..." Wow I never realize how everything seems connected to each other. Dr Fauziah-Dr Edwin-Dr Jeya...I wonder if the connection ends there....?
