1. Sophocles
2. Antigone and Creon
3. I think Antigone was the hero in this play because she has the courage to face Creon and argue that the law he made was wrong. She said all men should be treated as equal.
4. I think Creon was the villain in this play because he killed Antigone who doesn’t agree with his law. As a result, it influenced his son Haimon and the Queen’s suicide.
5. 1) One conflict is individual vs. family. In the play, there are several scenes that two people are arguing. In the very beginning of the play, Antigone was arguing with her sister Ismene about their brother’s burial. And then Antigone argued with Creon about the law. In addition, Creon also argued with his son Haimon.
2) Another conflict is law of god vs. law of man, Antigone thinks all men should be treated as equal. However, Creon thinks only people who died for country should be honored and respected. No one can change the law of god that all man should be treated equally. …show more content…
love. In the play, Haimon corrected his father’s wrong idea that only people who died for country should be respected and have a burial. He chose Antigone even though he and his father Creon’s relationship changed. He chose love rather than his father.
6. Kalokagathia is the Greek value that something is well balanced. Sophrosyne is also one of the Greek value that individual should practice moderation and self-control. I think Haimon is one example of the sophrosyne because he controls himself and puts into practice to convincing his father that his idea is wrong. Antigone seems too eager to bury her brother Polyneices. Creon got angry when his son Haimon try to convince him that his idea is wrong. I feel they are not self-controlled or have a well-balanced mind. Therefore, they don’t fit either Kalokagathia or
