Morality - "the
line"

Incest
is that line

What
happens when you get to the boundary? Turn back or kick it down?

Odipeius is an
"everyman" - represents everyone

Hits close to home

Tradigy

Tragic hero - he has
heroic traits

Suffering and
heroics go hand in hand

Dramatic irony -
audience knows more than the characters

Paradox: People who
can see are blind metaphorically; the blind can see the real world

So Odipedius blinds
himself
