Read Teiresias's lines from Scene 1 of Oedipus the King and answer the question. You are a king. But where argument's concerned
I am your man, as much a king as you.
I am not your servant, but Apollo's.
I have no need of Creon to speak for me.
Listen to me. You mock my blindness, do you?
But I say that you, with both your eyes, are blind:
You cannot see the wretchedness of your life,
What is the significance of the above statement in relation to the play's conclusion?

Oedipus treats his inferiors poorly but ultimately grants them the same respect he grants to nobility.

While Telresias appears to be mocking Oedipus, the real message is one of warning about the forces working against the king.

Oedipus earns great fame for answering the riddle of the Sphinx but ultimately loses his crown to a common man

Just as Oedipus is unable to concelve that he has done wrong in the past, he is unable to imagine that his enviable position is
Impermanent

Freedoms" speech. i have called for personal sacrifice. i am assured of the willingness of almost all americans to respond to that call. a part of the sacrifice means the payment of more money in taxes. in my budget message i shall recommend that a greater portion of this great defense program be paid for from taxation than we are paying today. no person should try, or be allowed, to get rich out of this program; and the principle of tax payments in accordance with ability to pay should be constantly before our eyes to guide our legislation. what argument is roosevelt supporting with his appeal to logic in the underlined section of the excerpt? if americans are willing to trust roosevelt, it only makes sense that he will ensure that the tax money is well managed. if americans are willing to make a personal sacrifice, it only makes sense that they will be seen as both noble and patriotic. if americans feel it is right to enter the war, it only makes sense that they will have to pay more in taxes to cover the costs. if americans feel it is right to pay more taxes, it only makes sense that they should also agree it is right to enter the war.
