In the closing scene of Coen Brothers' O Brother, Where Art Thou?, the old blind man driving the handcar, whom Everett and his associates had encountered near the beginning of the film, and who had made a prophecy about them, makes a reappearance.
Does this scene, and the man himself, have any significance? I am aware that the film is based off Homer's "Odyssey", so is this perhaps some parallel character?
I feel like I am missing some point about the film.
