Theban King Oedipus blinds himself with Theban Queen Jocasta's brooch. Jocasta turns out to be his mother, the mother of his children, and his wife. When the news breaks, Jocasta kills herself rather than keep up an incestuous marriage or choose between death or miserable exile. Oedipus then blinds himself rather than see the mess that he and his parents have made of their lives. He can't bear the thought of seeing the life choices and style that he previously had prided himself on knowing so well and seeing so clearly.
