Answer:

Explanation:

In Oedipus the King, Sophocles uses blindness and sight as metaphors. Tiresias a physically blind man has a clearer vision than the king Oedipus. Tiresias states "So, you mock my blindness? Let me tell you this, you with your precious eyes, you’re blind to the corruption of your life, to the house you live in, those you live with” (Sophocles 470-475). Blindness is used as a metaphor for the loss of identity, power, and hope. Meanwhile, a clear vision is used as a metaphor for knowledge and insight. The protagonist Oedipus is "Blind" "You have not the truth. You’re blind. Blind in your eyes. Blind in your ears. Blind in your mind” (Sophocles 40). The truth holds power, a power only those with clear sight can see, in the end, Oedipus’s downfall is his blindness, and he ends up being powerless. ok all good please give brailiest :)

How does the promiscuous breed" to which Crevecoeur refers at the beginning of the second paragraph compare with
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Crevecoeur in his "Letters from an American farmer" compares the ruling aristocrats, Bishops, nobles, and rich people of European countries to "promiscuous breed" because they inherited all the wealth and resources of the poor people for their own personal gains.

Similarly this practice of accumulating wealth by few powerful people is growing rapidly in America today. He might characterize Americans in our time as selfish and apathetic because most people choose to remain silent while the country which was was once known as 'land of opportunity' is becoming like aristocratic Europe.
