Suicide and blinding are the violent actions committed offstage respectively by Jocasta and Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Queen Jocasta and King Oedipus of Thebes are upset about finding out that they are not only wife and husband and but also mother and son. Jocasta locks herself in the bedroom and hangs herself with the threads from her own robes. Oedipus blinds himself with two golden brooches from Jocasta's robes.

What happens to Oedipus' eyes?
That the sight is stabbed out of them is what happens to Theban King Oedipus' eyes. The blinding is deliberate and self afflicted. It's done with brooches from the robe of Theban Queen Jocasta, who's Oedipus' wife and mother. It's finding out that he's the killer of his own father and the husband of his own mother, and that Jocasta commits suicide, that leads Oedipus to this violent act.
What is the role of the messenger in 'Oedipus Rex'?
The bringing of news about offstage events is the role of the messenger in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the rules of ancient Greek theater demand the taking place of one action in one place within one 24-hour time period. In this instance, the action occurs in front of the main entrance of the Theban royal palace on the day during which Theban King Oedipus is succeeded by King Creon. The Corinthian and Theban messengers report the offstage deaths of Corinthian King Polybus and of Theban Queen Jocasta. They therefore tell of violent events, whose onstage portrayal is forbidden in ancient Greek drama, while respecting the three above-mentioned unities of time, place and action.
What is the chronological order of the announced self-blinding of Oedipus Creon separating Oedipus from his children and Oedipus visiting his children in 'Oedipus Rex'?
The messenger's announcement of Oedipus' self-blinding, Oedipus asking Creon to exile him from Thebes and visiting with his children, and Creon asking Oedipus to leave his children in Thebes is the sequence in which the preceding events occur in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the violent offstage act of disgraced Theban King Oedipus' blinding himself with his dead wife's brooches is announced onstage by a royal messenger. This announcement swiftly is followed by an interaction with newly crowned King Creon over punishment of and then visitation rights for Oedipus. Oedipus gets to see his children, but Creon insists about separating parent and daughters while awaiting divine judgment on whether to execute or exile Oedipus for criminal action and immoral behavior.
Why does Teiresias hesitate to tell Oedipus the truth in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Because it is treasonous to criticize a king and because Oedipus has a violent temper and must see for himself that the evidence is true are the reasons why Teiresias hesitates to tell Oedipus the truth about his identity in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet knows that his sovereign, Theban King Oedipus, is a criminal and an immoralist. But at the same time, Oedipus is beloved by his family and his people. What with Oedipus' violent temper, no wonder Teiresias hesitates to say what Oedipus needs to see, process and accept on his own.
What does the exchange with Creon reveal about Oedipus' personality in 'Oedipus Rex'?
A stubborn personality is what Oedipus reveals in his exchange with Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus has no grounds for hurtling conspiracy charges and violent threats against Creon, his brother-in-law and royal colleague. But he does not accept any part of Creon's logical, spirited self-defense. Stubbornness characterizes all of Oedipus' thoughts, speech and actions. It becomes his biggest fault, but also his greatest virtue. Stubbornness acts to give him hope when he has no hope and to head a murder investigation down the most uncomfortable of paths.

Is there a war in 'Oedipus Rex'?
No, there is no war in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the violence that occurs does not take place on the battlefield. Instead, there is a mental war of wits in which the loser Sphinx kills herself and the victor Oedipus becomes King of Thebes. That incident is preceded by a violent street brawl over a right-of-way that leaves five people dead. It subsequently is succeeded by the violent suicide of Oedipus' wife and by Oedipus' violent self-blinding.

How do you compare and contrast Oedipus in 'Oedipus Rex' and Leonardo in 'Blood Wedding'?
That they become angry with their wives and that they become violent with men romancing the women they love but that their anger is expressed in violently different ways are the comparison and contrast of Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) and of Leonardo in "Blood Wedding" (Bodas de Sangre) by Federico García Lorca (June 5, 1898 - August 19, 1936).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus loses his temper when he finds out that his wife Queen Jocasta also is his mother. He makes an effort to kill her, but finds her already hanging by the threads of his own robes. He mutilates himself for killing his wife's first husband and for having children with his own mother. In contrast, Leonardo's equally violent anger succeeds in getting killed not only his male competitor but also himself. Both his wife and his beloved survive.

How do Laius and Oedipus try to avoid their respective fates in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Violence and panic-stricken desperation are how Laius and Oedipus respectively try to avoid their fates in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, violence appears to be the signature reaction of Theban King Laius when backed into a corner. For example, he asks his wife, Queen Jocasta, to kill their three-day-old infant son Oedipus when the royal couple receives a prophecy that their son will grow up to kill his father. In like vein, he battles a younger version of himself when the presumed stranger stands firm about right-of-way at the fateful Delphi-Daulia crossroads in Phocis. Both hotheaded expressions of violence boomerang with Laius' death.Oedipus is similarly hotheaded. But the very first reaction of a frightened Oedipus is to run away in a classic example of desperate, panic-stricken avoidance behavior. The very second reaction is violent action carried out against an older version of himself and followed years later by violent threats and violent self-mutilation.
