Fate is defined as, ‘the development of events outside a person’s control, regarded as predetermined by a supernatural power’. In the time in which ‘Romeo and Juliet’ was written, many people were strong believers of fate and it was a common belief in society. William Shakespeare was a famous poet who is recognised for his powerful writing and contribution to the English language. One of William Shakespeare’s highly recognised plays is ‘Romeo and Juliet’ written in the late 1500’s. It is a play about two star-crossed lovers alongside fate who by their death end the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets. In ‘Romeo and Juliet’, Friar Laurence is not to blame for the tragic events which occurs in the play due to the fact that other

In the play Antigone by Sophocles Haemon acts as a foil character to Creon. In the play Antigone tries to bury her brother even though she knows that it was against the rules. In the play it shows that Antigone would do anything for her brother. After a while Creon found out that Antigone had buried her brother’s body and so Creon wanted to punish her since it was against the rules. Creon's punishment for Antigone was by locking her in a cage in which then she committed suicide and killed herself. Creon is a king but also a relative of Antigone. Creon is a very powerful man but also has very strict rules and he believes everyone should follow them. Haemon acts as a foil character to Creon by trying to make him a good person where everyone can

Moreover, when Antigone is caught and Creon is going to kill her, Haemon is struck with the decision of who to side with. Originally, in a private meeting with his father, Haemon defends his father saying “No marriage will ever be more important to me than justly carrying out your precepts” (page 37). However, eventually Haemon grows extremely angry with Creon and is persuading him to not kill Antigone. Consequently, they have a heated argument ending with Creon threatening to kill Antigone and Haemon responds “No, not in my sight-never think this can happen! She will not die beside me, and you will never lay your eyes upon my face again.” Unfortunately, a few days later, Haemon finds out that Antigone has hung herself, and out of grief, stabs and kills himself so he will die next to her.

According to CollegeTimes, four in ten businesses worldwide have no women in senior management. This stems from many countries not being comfortable with women in the position of power. The leadership in Sophocles’ Antigone and Euripides’ Medea is the exact same way. Comparatively, not one woman in these books has a leadership role. Creon, a character in Medea, even says he would never let a women rule above him.

The level 3 individual question that seemed outstanding for an analysis paper is “How far would people go for their true love without deliberating the fact that Romeo and Juliet come from families that despise each other?” Just look at what the Capulets and Montagues have executed in the Shakespearean book and play. All that they have done were sharing blows with one another, but nobody knows how the fight had started/when it will end. Romeo and Juliet are two fact-based lovers, in which Romeo and Juliet’s names really mean “passionate, mutual love” If I recall from Shakespearean text, “Two households ( Montagues and Capulets ) both alike in dignity, In Fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From Ancient Grudge, break to new mutiny, Where civil

“Romeo and Juliet” is a fictional book about the love of two star-crossed lovers who come to a brutal end due to their family fued.

Creon begins with asking Haemon if he is distressed for sentencing Antigone, Haemon’s future wife, to death because of her violation towards his law. Haemon answers that he is still fond of him despite this proclamation, and Creon expresses that he is glad that he has an obedient son. Creon also states that Haemon should forget about Antigone and to make sure this woman does not outplay them and make them look imperfect. Haemon states that everyone thinks Creon is acting very unjust toward Antigone and view Antigone as a hero because of her going with moral law rather than Creon’s law. Haemon then states that Creon should loosen his hold of Antigone, for he is alone in thinking Antigone should die. Creon responds that he shall not take advice from someone so young and accuses Haemon of being on Antigone’s side. Due to this, Creon declares that he is going to summon Antigone so Haemon can watch her die, but Haemon announces that he will not and leaves. The Chorus and Creon then being to talk, with Creon stating that he shall no longer kill Ismene but rather lock her in a cave and slowly starve her so that she will understand her wrong in letting Antigone go against the law. The Chorus ends the scene by conversing how no one can escape love and how love can turn anyone wicked in the

In this quote Creon is making himself look like he is taking charge and punishing Antigone harshly. He is trying to amplify what he plans to do to Antigone. He is being too proud. In reality, though, he did not do these things to the degree he boasts about to Antigone. Creon makes it seem that he is cruel, but he really is not as cruel as he appears. Another time, the prophet is calling Creon out.
