From the article, the intensity and duration of the pleasure decrease over time because when we get something, we want to get something else.

According to the article, everyone seeks happiness and also the maintenance of a good state of mind. This brings about new thoughts, new ideas, etc.

Therefore, the intensity and duration of the pleasure we take in new things tend to decrease over time. As humans, when we get something we want, we proceed to the next thing and want something else.

When Oedipus asks the blind prophet for his advice, the chorus is confused because of the answer the prophet provides. He accuses the King Oedipus of being the murderer of the previous king. The chorus are now confused and afraid of the whole situation.

No one can believe that the accusations are truth. They're unsure as to whom they should believe in since phrophets are considered emissaries of the gods and its impossible for them to be mistaken. They now found themselves conflicted.


Hope this helps !
