睁

to open (one's eyes)

睁 = 争 + 目 : The eye of providence (目) dressed like the grim reaper (争) and shocked James II of England (zh) in front of the engine ((e)ng1). Now James doesn't want to open his eyes (睁) so he doesn't have to see the grim reaper. The eye of providence can't even convince him to open his eyes and look at him to see that it was just a prank.
