That the crisis over the Sphinx is solved by Oedipus, not Teiresias, is the reason why Oedipus brings up the Sphinx and calls Teiresias a pious fraud in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus comes as a young man to Thebes. He defeats the Sphinx, who is asking an impossible question and killing and eating all Thebans who do not have the correct answer. Teiresias the blind prophet already is in Thebes, but does nothing to end the Sphinx's reign of terror. Oedipus refers to this to question Teiresias' motives for action and inaction.
Rebecca Nurse is an elderly woman, who is married to Francis Nurse. She served the community as a midwife for years, and she is a pious, church-going woman. Rebecca does not believe that witches are present in the village, and she refuses to admit to practicing witchcraft. Rebecca is unjustly convicted and hanged.
In Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible," Francis Nurse is a respected and wealthy landowner in Salem, known for his fair and just nature. His wife, Rebecca Nurse, is a kind and pious woman, admired for her wisdom and moral integrity. Both characters serve as voices of reason amidst the chaos of the witch trials, ultimately facing persecution due to their opposition to the hysteria and their support for the accused. Their tragic fates highlight the destructive power of fear and scapegoating in their community.
