The Day with Dr. Edwin

Last Wednesday, Dr. Edwin FINALLY discussed 'Oedipus Rex' with the class. He went through the lines with us. Suddenly, i found that the lines of the text seem to be quite easy to be interpreted than the readings we did on our own. He pointed out a few significant words in the texts that are ignored by us, for instance, the use of the sense of 'touch'. During the last few readings, we just focus on the words on the sense of sight because Oedipus becomes a blond man in the later part of the drama. However, we already forget about the fact that , the sense of touch will take over the place of the eyes when somebody is blind. After being pointed out, I think I'm still not a proficient reader who really reads between the lines of the drama. Every line that seems to be so simple actually has its own embedded meaning.
