Explanation:
The definitions above are clear and explanatory. Still, let's define the terms with different words to make sure the comprehension is thorough. A <u>cult</u> is used to refer to religions that are practiced by smaller groups and that have unconventional beliefs. <u>Cynicism</u> has its origin in an ancient Greek philosophical school. Nowadays, the word is used to refer to the belief that people are self-interest in their actions. <u>Skepticism</u> as a philosophy is the theory that achieving a certain knowledge is impossible. As for <u>syncretism</u>, it refers to the blending of two or more belief/religious systems or even cultures. <u>Monasticism</u> is also called monkhood and, as the name suggests, it concerns the abandonment of worldly pursuits in favor of spiritual endeavors. Finally, <u>utopia</u> refers to a place or a state in which everything is perfect. It usually refers to a perfect society, in which everyone works for the general good, rulers are not corrupt, and the people is impeccably happy.

Answer:
Oedipus is intensely angry when he kills his biological father and when he fights with Creon and Teiresias for giving him bad news.
Explanation:
Oedipus has difficulties in controlling his emotions, especially anger. That's because he is a person with an explosive temperament, who can't handle solving intrigues with ease and who expresses himself with violence. This personality trait not only leaves Oedipus a very intense character, but also leaves him a real person who often does not act rationally, being totally controlled by anger, leaving his story totally unpredictable.
Oedipus' anger may be exaggerated for us, but it was a common feature for the Greek society that created this play. That's because the Greeks at that time lived in a very violent time with several invasions and stress. Watching a character unleash his anger in a grandiose way could be somewhat comfortable for the Greeks.
