“The truly tragic kind of suffering is the kind produced and defiantly insisted upon the hero himself so that, instead of making himself better, it makes him worse and when he dies he is not reconciled to the law but defiant…” - W. H. Auden. According to Aristotle, an ancient Greek philosopher, some examples of being a tragic hero can be defined as having a weakness, usually seen in pride, having to be faced with very serious decisions throughout the story, and the hero must have discovered his…

Sophocles, in Antigone, says mankind tends to make poor choices because we are engulfed in arrogance; we are deaf to reason and can’t see the purpose of the gods’ laws. Mankind is gifted; we are allowed to make our own choices. Whether those choices affect our future in a positive or negative way is up to us. Additionally, the choices we make reflect upon us and reveal our characters. For example, Ismene is able to choose her path between assisting in the burial of her brother, Polyneices, or…

Creon for her misfortunes, she claims ‘’I have not sinned before god…but if the guilt lies upon Creon then. I pray may his punishment equal my own.’’ According to Aristotle a tragic character must go through a ‘’Nemesis’’ which is a fortune that the protagonist cannot avoid, usually due to retribution of his/her hubris. Throughout the play “Antigone” many people have tried to advise Creon but his hubris was too large for their words to resonate. He was adamant to admit his wrongful verdict…

In the play “Antigone”, we see a man in power make fatal assumptions about his self-worth. Creon’s stubbornness and superiority complex ultimately leads to his and his family’s demise. This is used as a punishment for Creon’s assumed superiority over the Gods. This is all extremely evident in the play, along with Antigone’s role as the play’s tragic hero. In the story, Antigone and Creon are so contrasted because Creon’s character is one that is selfish and supports a patriarchal rule over his…

Civil disobedience is an peaceful act of disobeying a law or demand of a government or higher power. Nonviolent protest has been demonstrated since the ancient Greek times to the segregation of blacks and whites to today’s media. In various literature several authors had characters demonstrate the act of civil disobedience, however, this act has also been demonstrated by real life people such as Rosa Parks and her refusal to give her seat up for a white man. Film is another way civil…

Antigone is very prideful, a hamartia which drives her to purposefully defy the laws of the state and blinds her to the consequences her actions might bring, ultimately leading to her demise. Antigone knowingly disobeys the laws of her ruler by burying her brother, Polyneices, and is proud to do so out of the conviction to remain loyal to her family and the laws of the gods. Polyneices died in battle as a traitor to the country of Thebes and King Creon has insisted that “no traitor is going to…

I remember it so clearly how horrifying it was. By “it” I mean the death of Prince Haemon, son of King Creon. When the servants and I got the command to free Antigone, we went as fast as possible (8). While she did go against Creon’s wishes, it was noble of Antigone to try burying her brother; I respected her for that (1). When we got there, Princess Antigone was dead from suicide, going to the heavens, but that wasn’t the worst of it (2). Confused and horrified came Haemon (6). He was in a…
