Antigone

The character Creon in “Oedipus the King” and in “Antigone” is quite present in both plays. He is a vital character. In “Oedipus the King”, Creon was sent to the Oracle of Delphi to find out how the city could be saved from the plague. He was later accused of being against Oedipus when Creon brought the news that he was the killer of King Laius, Oedipus must die to end the plague. After all the truth was released, Creon tries to convince Oedipus to be buried in Thebes when he was dying, because a

Part A As judge, Confucius is free to condemn Creon for Antigone’s death because the law that Creon passes that Antigones’ brother should not be buried was contradicting with the role of Antigone as a sister. Antigone tells Creon ``…there are honors due to the dead..’’ (Ode.1 scene2 line 129)As such, the woman saw that if she doesn’t give her brother a burial, she will have dishonored him (Confucius, 2015). This action makes her commit suicide, and it is linked to Creon. If he couldn’t have refused

to analyze the story a little more in depth, I came up with two probable answers. First, I think the author’s trying to describe Antigone as this antagonist, who’s against all odds throughout the play. She’s a young girl who refuses to let anyone tell her what to do. Her self-morals of loyalty and courage outweigh any consequence that’s willing to come her way. Antigone ends up pushing her limits by finally forcing Creon to punish her by sticking her in a cave and locking her in there, but in the

The play Antigone is filled with despair, agony, and endless family fueds; leading to characters with strong and impactive personalities. Ismene is the perfect example of jealousy, cowardness, and lies. Although many would hate to admit it, I find myself much like her during times of trial and dismay. The comparison of she and I is shocking. Our relationships, appearances, and personalities are almost too alike to be real. By reading of Ismene's life one cannot only learn a lot about ancient Greece

Violence is an effect of something which happens when there is hatred or a conflict. In the play Antigone, Creon is a king who rules the state of thebes, he shows a threat of violence against anyone who disobeyes the law, which he places in regards towards the burial of Antigone and Ismenes’ brother polyneices. In chapter 11 of how to read literature like a professor, violence is shown by a mother a slave who has two children which she murders so they won’t become slaves and she believes

Role of the Messenger in Antigone Within the Greek tragedy, Antigone, the Messenger comes to fruition in scene V where he enters and is used as a vessel to sum up different points of the plot without the need for more characters to be present. Specifically, the general role of the Messenger is to present information to the audience without complicating the play additional locations and actors. Also, the Messenger allows Sophocles to bypass strict restrictions disallowing violence on stage at the

The hubris resonating throughout the play, ‘Antigone’ is seen in the characters of Creon and Antigone. Their pride causes them to act impulsively, resulting in their individual downfalls. In his opening speech, Creon makes his motives clear, that “no man who is his country’s enemy shall call himself my friend.” This part of his declaration was kept to the letter, as he refused burial for his nephew, Polynices. However, when the situation arises where it is crucial that Creon takes advice, he neglects

has a flaw that assists in his or her downfall. Antigone is a Greek tragic piece written by Sophocles. In the theatrical production the use of power and morality versus law is evident. The promotion to the conflict was that Creon created a law in which enabled Polynieces, Antigone’s brother, to be buried in the proper way. As it is the way of the gods Antigone found it fit to bury her brother causing her to disobey the law of Thebes. Both Antigone and Creon, the main characters, could represent a

play Antigone, Sophocles shows many situations where the characters are forced to choose between law or family. Throughout Antigone, Sophocles proves his strong devotion to family, even more. Sophocles shows this through the actions of Antigone, Creon and Haimon and the choices that they make throughout the play. For instance, Antigone had many chances to obey the law or her own familial bonds. Antigone chooses to obey family, and bury Polynices even though burying breaks Creon's law. Antigone pleads
