Answer: Teiresias's prophecy makes me nervous. I don't know if he is right or wrong.

The chorus expresses fear (dread) and doubt about Teiresias's prophecy (the wise interpreter of prophecies), which states that Oedipus is the murderer they are looking for. The chorus cannot believe this, as they have no reason to believe he ever committed a crime. Therefore, they cannot say whether Teiresias is right or not (I cannot approve of what he said and I cannot deny it).

Compare Siegfried Sassoon’s works to Valery’s essay. How are their messages similar? How do the authors persuade their audiences

Dmitry [639]

Siegfried Sasson illustrates the dramatic transformation most soldiers went through after experiencing World War 1. Englishmen like Sasson initially thought themselves as involved in a heroic effort to defend liberalism and the British a hellish and pointless nightmare. Intellectuals like Paul Valery were also disillusioned by the war, and many feared that the West and its liberal values would not long survive. In the essay below, he makes allusion to the scene in which Hamlet ponders mortality while studying the skull that is all that remains of a man he had known in life.
