CRAM SESH PT 2- Oedipus Rex

The first thing I think of when I hear Oedipus Rex (other then the motherly love) is sight vs. blindness and a theme statement I'd use for this would be: One's hubris will block them from seeing the entire truth. This not only relates to sight vs. blindness but also excessive pride. A quote I thought would work for this is, "I stopped the sphinx! With no help from the birds..." this quote shows the the lack of truth Oedipus is unable to face due to his hubris.
