Sight and Blindness When Desdemona asks to be allowed to accompany Othello to Cyprus‚ she says that she "saw Othello’s visage in his mind‚ / And to his honours and his valiant parts / Did I my soul and fortunes consecrate" (I.iii. 250252).

This theme is portrayed through the characters of King Lear‚ Gloucester and Edgar. The lack of insight‚ or “blindness”‚ is very symbolic. Blindness is defined as “unable to see; lacking the sense of sight;”(Dictionary). For Lear‚ blindness was not physical; it was his flaw.
