Toward the end of Part I of Oedipus the King, Oedipus and Jocasta meet and have a long dialogue. Beginning in line 665, Jocasta

explains why she does not believe prophets. When Oedipus next speaks, in line 684, he says, "A shadow crossed my mind as you spoke. And the / shadow chilled my mind." Reread lines 665–779, and explain why Jocasta's story causes Oedipus to say these words.

Answer and Explanation:

Jocasta explains that she does not trust the words of the prophets, because in the past, a prophet told her ex-husband that his son would kill him. In fear, her ex-husband drove the child out of the city and was killed years later, at a crossroads by a band of thieves, just before Oedipus arrived. This makes Oedipus very afraid, as it confirms the prophecy he received.

That's because Oedipus knows that he is not a legitimate child of the parents who raised him and that he was found as a baby. In addition, he killed a man near the crossroads to which Jocasta's ex-husband was killed. In that case, it is likely that he killed her husband and then married her, which proves the terrible prophecy he received that said he would kill his own father and lie with his own mother.

Genetic alterations that induce unchecked cell growth and tumor formation are the root cause of cancer.

<h3>What are the causes of cancer?</h3>

Genetic alterations that induce unchecked cell growth and tumor formation are the root cause of cancer. The fundamental causes of sporadic tumors are genomic instability and DNA damage. Genetic mutations that are inherited cause a small percentage of malignancies. The majority of malignancies are caused by environmental, behavioral, or lifestyle exposures.

Various lifestyle choices that may increase your risk of developing some adult malignancies include smoking, eating a lot of fat, and working with hazardous chemicals. However, most cancer patients are too young to have had prolonged exposure to these lifestyle risks.

<h3>Symptoms</h3>
  • Fatigue.
  • Lump or region of thickening that can be felt under the skin.
  • Changes in weight, such as unplanned loss or growth.
  • Alterations to the skin, such as yellowing, darkening, or redness, as well as unsealing wounds or modifications to moles that already exist.
  • Changes in bowel or bladder habits.
