Also introduced is the theme of ’Nothing’ when Lear tells Cordelia; "How‚ nothing will come of nothing." (Act 1 Scene 1).

stroll through a minefield. However‚ we often tend to approach “sight” and “blindness” from very literal perspective. Whereas Sophocles‚ in his play Oedipus Rex‚ approaches the sight-blind dichotomy metaphorically.
