Hello. I am doing an essay on Oedipus the King about the figurative and literal meaning of blindness. I know the literal meaning but I am having a little trouble with the figurative meaning. I kinda have an idea of what it means but don't know how to put it into words. Any suggestions will help. Thanks.

It sounds like you just did put it into words:

I kinda have an idea of what it means but don't know how to put it into words.

This is a kind of blindness. Something is there, available to you, but you cannot access it.

What is it that blinds people in Shakespeare's plays? What is it that causes people to fail to notice something that is obvious to others? I'll give you a hint: Other people deceive us so that we are blind to some things, but we also deceive ourselves sometimes. Other people use trickery to deceive us, but what is the mechanism within us that causes us to render ourselves blind?
