The line mentions <span>Teiresias, the prophet who knew what would happen, and the seeing itself. Even though he is blind, Teiresias sees into the future and the truth of things. Even though he isn't blind, Oedipus doesn't see what he is doing and who he is. His tragic blindness will turn into the actual blindness, in a self-punishing act.</span>

Answer:

The line relates to the main themes of Oedipus King because it alludes to the inner blindness of Oedipus and the outer blindness of Teiresias.

Explanation:

Teiresias is a blind man, but he can see the tragic future of Oedipus (who was destined to marry his mother, with whom he had two sons and two daughters, and to kill his father). Oedipus, even seeing perfectly has an inner blindness, because even hearing the prophecy he can not do nothing but fulfill it. Oedipus has evidence that whatever is happening on his way is leading him to fulfill the prophecy, but he has pretended not to see this evidence.

The philosophical position that holds that people have control over what they do and are free to choose to act other than the wa
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Free will.

Explanation:

The choice of an individual to make up his own mind and decisions unimpeded is known as free will. This is a state of mind giving full access and authority to the individual to do what he wants and what he likes without being influenced or helped by an outside force or individual. This ability of the person to act without the help or forced will of someone else is infused on everyone and it is up to us on how we use our own free will. The issue of fate vs. free will had been an ongoing debate within philosophers, even theologians but there had been no definite solution to this debate.

Thus, we can say that<u> free will</u> is the philosophical position that holds that people have control over what they do and are free to chose to act other than the way they do.

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

d . he believes them to be sincere and good.

Explanation:

“A call for Unity” was written by eight white pastors who gave their opinions on Martin Luther King Jr. and his actions. They wrote that they essentially agreed with King’s causes, but not with the method of “extreme measurements”. They called King out as an “outsider” because he protested instead of taking the problem to the court.

<u>King recognized their well-meaning attitude and the ways they agree with the ideas.</u> This is why he said, at the end of the "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" he will take time to reply to them. <u>He writes about how he feels their genuine goodwill and capability for understanding.</u> <u>Although he mentioned he does not have time for answering criticism usually, this recognition of the sincerity and good means made him change his principle.</u>
