that kill each other. They have a king named Crepon who doesn't want to bury polyneices and back then you needed to bury anyone that dies it was a sign of respect for the gods.

him, a dear sister with a dear brother.” (Pg 6 line 70). Family in her instance is put for everyone and everything, she feels that by sacrificing her like to bury him, it will pull him to peace and also be worth her death. With an argument between Creon, Antigone informs him , “ I'm coming home forever, to be held in with my own people, most of them dead now, and gone where Persephone welcomes them” (Pg 41 line 892). She is accepting her fate and realizing that this offering of her passing…

obstacles they would face in their adulthood. Oedipus told them about what individuals would mention to them, but he wanted them to ignore all the rumors and create a prominent future for themselves. He asked Creon to take and care for his children like they were his owns. Oedipus wanted Creon to be the father figure in his children’s lives so they could have someone to guide them through the hardship that lay ahead in their future. In short, even after being blind, Oedipus thought about the…

The excerpt from Antigone is very valuable because it can be used in our everyday life. If you make a mistake own up to it , don’t act like you don’t realize your fault. In Antigone , Creon was really arrogant and he didn’t want to listen to anyone’s advice , and so him not heeding wise words people ended up dead. Now something like that probably won’t happen if you’re being stubborn , or arrogant but that doesn’t mean something bad might not happen. For example ; My brother left his plate…

One of the main characters I decided to recreate was Antigone. She first appears on page 1068 of the prologue and appears back again on page 1082 of scene two. In overall, one of the play’s reoccurring theme is death. I chose to draw a mainly black puzzle into one part of Antigone’s face to show the foreshadowing of Antigone’s own death and how death had been a part of her for so long. On page 1072, Antigone says, “I am not afraid of the danger; if it means death, It will not be the worst of…

Oedipus the King. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2010. Print.) Admittedly Oedipus was only reacting as anyone would upon hearing such words but nevertheless he lives in denial and accuses Creon of bribing Teiresias. The ending of the play is no doubt an unfortunate one as the truth unavoidably comes to surface. Jocasta, not being able to face the truth, kills herself. Oedipus, in a fit of despair gouges his eyes out and begs to be exiled…

Catatonic Stubbornness Hamartia. From Greek meaning a fatal flaw leading to the downfall of a tragic hero or heroine. In Sophocles’s Oedipus Rex and Antigone, Oedipus, Antigone, and especially Creon all display their flaw of being stubborn which ultimately leads to the tragedy in each play. When Teiresias challenges Oedipus by saying that he is the one plaguing the city, instead of listening to the other side of the argument, Oedipus tells him to be “Out of this place! Out of my sight!”…

The story of Oedipus the king is gloomy, yet captivating. Going from a child bond around the feet and abandon by the mountainside, to marrying his mother, his story is intriguing. In search of the truth about the prophecy and putting an end to a plague Oedipus search for king Laius’s killer. Leaving him to die at mountainside with his foot slice and tie as an infant for the reason of killing the prophecy said about him when he was born, his mother and father abandon him. A shepherd who finds…

because your beloved king takes Antigone as a traitor. But in the words of Antigone, “... I have done no wrong, I have not sinned before God. Or if I have, I shall know the truth in death. But if the guilt lies upon Creon who judged me, then, I pray, may his punishment equal my own.” Creon deserves as much pain and suffering he brings to Antigone. She has done no wrong and brought no harm to her country or ourselves. What if that was your brother, lying on the cold…

what she has faith in. In that she trusts to do the will of the Gods and to cover her brother. As to leave a body unburied was a wrongdoing against the Gods. But to cover Polyneices was a wrongdoing deserving of death; a rule set up by the new King, Creon. Antigone, despite being cautioned by her sister, is deliberately caught in the act covering her brother and is placed before the king, who undermines her with death. Antigone is rebellious because she is not afraid of men, death, or anyone…
