I read it two years ago, so I don't know how much of a help I could be, but I can try bb!

I guess I just need someone to bounce ideas off of. And to help me find quotes D:

Alright. My copy is in some beastly lit book at school, but with the power of the internet as a supplement, I'll definitely try my best to help you with whatever you need.

Lmfaooo thank you so much, omg. I honestly have no idea what's going on in this book.

I'm doing the theme of sight/blindness and my three arguments are:
1. The Prophecy, kill your father and sleep with your mother. It was like a blurred view into the future idkidk
2. Fate/the future: you are blind to it, you don't know wtf is going to happen to you
3. when he stabs his eyes out, he couldn't stand to look at his daughters.

i need two quotes per argument aaaand yeah. failing hardcore right now :|

He bangs his mom and deep-sixes his dad. that's really all you need to know XD Seriously though, "You cannot run from destiny" is basically the whole point of the story. That's all I took from my class anyway
