Sight, insight, Blindness Play a huge role in trdgeys. the story of Oedipus the king that we read in the module relayed on sight and insight heavily. The seeer know the truth of Oedipus's before everyone else did. Oedipus remained blind thought most of the story but then begun to see what he had done. Light and darkness also play a role in the story but not a typical one instead of one character being the light and another being the dark. I believe oedipus served both roles in thi story. When beginning this reading I went in assuming oedipus was the "good guy" and this assassin was the "bad" but as the story goes on you see that oedipus is really both but at the same time neither he doesn't embody the traditional tropes of dark vs light.
