How the author describes anxiety？

“thinking sometimes leads you up to a locked door. you are denied entry, however hard you knock there seems to be some insurmountable barrier, a refusal to give you what you are seeking. yet you sense something is there. you feel as you are in a state of suspended animation; you are wandering around in the dark. all you have are unanswered or half-answered questions, doubts, uncertainties and contradic-
tions. you are like a person who suspects there is something gravely wrong with their health and is awaiting the results of medical tests. the temptation to anxiety or fear is over-
whelming. anxiety is diffused fear, for the object of it is not known clearly or visibly. if you are in a jungle and see a tiger coming towards you, you are afraid; if there is no tiger and you still feel afraid, you are suffering from anxiety.”

he gives a lot of scenarios that 9/10 people would feel anxious in. he gives you something to relate or tie the feelings too because almost all of us has, at a point in time, been in one of those situations. and if not he gives broad scenarios so its easy to imagine.

Explanation:

there is no short story here so that i can answer the question.

agamemnon was the leader of the greek troops in the trojan wars and orestes was his son. when agamemnon returned from the war, he was murdered by his wife's lover in conjunction with his wife. orestes could not stop them but he seeked vengeance for his father. after a long time, he found them and avenged his father while killing them. he killed his mother, but greek mythology claims that his act was just and he was spared the remorse and the guilt. there are a lot of similarities with the ulysses/telemachus father son pair. ulysses was also one of the leaders of the excursion to troy. he still has not returned home, but in a sense the suitors of penelope are marring his estate and his reputation. while penelope is faithful to ulysses, the suitors by taking hold of the palace and committing their shameful acts are dishonoring ulysses. in the same context, telemachus is asked just like orestes to restitution his father's honor, regardless of whether he is alive or dead. athena is him and encouraging him with this example and he himself feels the need to save his father
