The subject of view is of great importance in explaining the constitution of the subject. The gaze takes place through the Other and is necessary for the establishment of the field of desire for the Other. Therefore, since the field of existence is built around desire, that is, the prohibition, the importance of the gaze is better understood. In the novel, Gertrude's first encounter with sin is after her eyes are opened. After seeing the bitter truth in the eyes of the Pastor's wife for the first time, she commits suicide out of guilt. Gertrude, who did not have the knowledge of the prohibition before she saw the eyes, meets the prohibition after her eyes are opened and her state of happiness ends. Therefore, the gaze causes the emergence of pain in the novel along with sin and prohibition. Blindness in the Pastoral Symphony and the point of view focused on blindness have been encountered since the myth of original sin. With original sin, the Other emerges in the field of existence. Thus, the gaze through the Other takes place. Oedipus, who encounters the truth in Sophocles' play Oedipus the King, blinds his eyes. As a matter of fact, Saint Paul, whose name is frequently mentioned in the dialogues between the Priest and his son Jacques in the Pastoral Symphony, is blinded when he encounters the truth. So blinding can really be explained around turning the gaze. Oedipus' mother, Jacosta and Gertrude's view of the truth, results in the termination of their bodily integrity/suicide. This is due to the difference in the attitudes of the masculine and feminine towards reality. In the Pastoral Symphony, Gertrude withdrew her body from the gaze of the Other with the violence of the conflict between eros and thanotos on the axis of blindness and gaze.
