The messenger knew this was not right and stepped in immediately to help the poor child. As Oedipus grew older he found out the truth about his life and why certain things happened. Over time, Oedipus's blindness shows him the lack of knowledge he knew about his true life story.

Physical sight and blindness are used throughout the play, often ironically, as a metaphor for mental sight and blindness.
