What do the following lines reveal mainly about the situation in thebes?
oedipus: teiresias, seer who comprehendest all,

lore of the wise and hidden mysteries,

high things of heaven and low things of the earth

thou knowest, though thy blinded eyes see naught,

what plague infects our city; and we turn

to thee, o seer, our one defense and shield.

the purport of the answer that the god

returned to us who sought his oracle,

the messengers have doubtless told thee—how

one course alone could rid us of the pest,

to find the murderers of laius,

and slay them or expel them from the land.

therefore begrudging neither augury

nor other divination that is thine,

o save thyself, thy country, and thy king,

save all from this defilement of blood shed.

on thee we rest. this is man’s highest end,

to others’ service all his powers to lend.

teiresias: alas, alas, what misery to be wise

when wisdom profits nothing! this old lore

i had forgotten; else i were not here.

oedipus: what ails thee? why this melancholy mood?

teiresias: let me go home; prevent me not; ’twere best

that thou shouldst bear thy burden and i mine.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

(i'm bad at sudden poems so don't yell at me i'm trying to represent sadness or something like that but its real hard)

at the age of 4, she thought everything was better.

she was innocent, she was joyful, despite the predictions about the bad weather.

at the age of 10, she started to figure things out.

in life, in its meaning, she started to doubt.

at the age of 14, she was filled with depression, anxiety and fear,

that nobody cared about her, and death was drawing near.

at the age of 17, her sleeves got longer, her will got shorter, until she couldn't take it anymore.

she left this earth with a rope, chair and to the heavens she would soar.
