Why does Jocasta not examine Oedipus' ankles to know whether or not he is her son in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That she believes her son to be dead is the reason why Jocasta never has a reason for examining Oedipus' ankles to know if he is or is not her son in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta arranges for her three-day-old son Oedipus to be killed by her most trusted servant. She believes in the servant and therefore does no follow-up. Years later, she marries a younger man who has scarred, swollen ankles and a shuffling gait. She never relates the presumed dead infant of the injured ankles with the presumed Corinthian royal of the similarly wounded ankles.
Why should you not were pointe shoes on carpet?
You aren't supposed to do pointe on carpet because your pointe shoes need a strong, hard floor so the shoe can be supported. If you do it on carpet, the boxes, the shanks, and your ankles aren't supported and it would be very easy for your ankles to roll out or in, causing your ankle to break.

Les twins wear knee pads around their ankles.
When do you get point shoes?
You get pointe shoes when your muscles (especially those in your feet and ankles) are strong enough to support you en pointe, or when your teacher says you may, which usually means that you ARE strong enough. Going en pointe too early may cause serious injuries.
