Because Oedipus is very impulsive
Walt Whitman is the author of the poem “A Sight in Camp in the Daybreak Gray and Dim”. He was born on May 31, 1819. Walt Whitman is the author of "Leaves of Grass" and, along with Emily Dickinson, is considered one of the architects of a uniquely American poetic voice.
The tone of his poem “A Sight in Camp in the Daybreak Gray and Dim” is:
despairing.
for it presents the general idea of lack of hope. Maybe what gives best this idea are the use of the words: sleepless, hospital, stretcher and untended, because they refer to sick people just lying there waiting for their imminent death.
The statement that best describes how the pace of the excerpt creates tension is: Pyramus’s long speech slows the pace to prolong suspense.
The speech, describing Pyramus's thoughts on her death and how guilty he feels about it, even going so far as to wish and call for his own death at the teeth of lions, creates tension by making the suspense of what will happen next last longer.
