Tiresias and Fool are my favorites
Fool was not a fool and Tiresias was not blind. when i watch and read both Oedipus the king and King Lear i could get chance to see some similarities on Lear's Fool and Oedipus's Tiresias. He could be blind but he was more sightly than many people those who are not blind. he knows many things which are difficult to know as a normal person. nevertheless Oedipus in ignorant he cannot see the his wisdom. on the other hand Lear's fool was also saying really valuable things if they can interpret deeply. those two character showing the truths but protagonist of both stories are blind, ignorant and foolish. those people representing what actually protagonist is. Oedipus is blind ignorant, Lear is really foolish. they are two mirror character for Oedipus and Lear. Lear is foolish dividing his lands among his daughter without knowing their face, Oedipus is blind to see realities.
