Blindness, both literal and figurative, is a recurring theme in Sophocles’s Oedipus trilogy. How does Sophocles depict this theme in Antigone?
A. He juxtaposes Creon, who is figuratively blind to the gods’ laws, with Teiresias, who is literally blind but can see and communicate the will of the gods.
B. He contrasts Ismene with Antigone, by portraying Ismene as figuratively blind to her family’s woes, unlike Antigone.
C. He shows that Antigone is figuratively blind to the just laws of her uncle, King Creon.
D. He shows that Haemon is figuratively blinded by his anger toward his father when he attempts to kill his father.
A. He juxtaposes Creon, who is figuratively blind to the gods’ laws, with Teiresias, who is literally blind but can see and communicate the will of the gods.
