All 4 Uses of
unwitting
in
Oedipus the King
- TEIRESIAS I say thou livest with thy nearest kin In infamy, unwitting in thy shame.†
*
- Nay, thou know'st it not, And all unwitting art a double foe To thine own kin, the living and the dead; Aye and the dogging curse of mother and sire One day shall drive thee, like a two-edged sword, Beyond our borders, and the eyes that now See clear shall henceforward endless night.†
- Mehtinks unwittingly I laid but now a dread curse on myself.†
- Not Ister nor all Phasis' flood, I ween, Could wash away the blood-stains from this house, The ills it shrouds or soon will bring to light, Ills wrought of malice, not unwittingly.†
