The play entitled Antigone was written by a man named Sophocles‚ a scholarly author of philosophy and logic. The play Antigone is probably one of the most prominent interpretations of a tragic drama. The two main characters of the play are Antigone and Creon. There is much conflict between Antigone and Creon throughout the play‚ both of them having their own ideas and opinions regarding divine law versus human law. The theme that I am going to analyze is the conflict of divine law vs. human law. The

Antigone: Moral Law vs Civil Law When it comes to morality‚ what is right and wrong based on a person’s personal beliefs‚ the story of Antigone is a great literary reference towards the internal struggles of an individual’s morality. Antigone chose to attribute herself with moral law instead of Creon’s rash and destructive civil law. Antigone felt that no one had the right to decide another’s fate‚ let alone the fate of someone else’s deceased body. Antigone believed that her brother deserved a

Qualifications of a Tragic Hero: Antigone vs. Creon In the tragedy of Antigone by Sophocles‚ Antigone‚ the main protagonist‚ is conflicted whether or not to bury her dead brother and go against Creon’s law or follow Creon’s law. Creon is the main antagonist in this story and punishes Antigone for breaking his law and burying Polynieces.

ANTIGONE 3 January 2013 Moral Law vs. Political Law The theme of Antigone is the struggle between political law and moral law; the difference of following the law because it is the law and following one’s own morals because you feel it is what is right. The characters in Antigone face this struggle when confronted with Creon’s refusal of a burial for Antigone’s brother Polynices. The ancient Greeks believed that without proper burial‚ entrance into the afterlife was forbidden. It is through

Antigone vs. Creon The question you ask is between Antigone and Creon‚ who has the most credibility? I believe that Antigone clearly has full credibility for what she has done. She followed her heart to not only prove that she was going to do what was right but to do what would make herself and hopefully Polyneices happy. Antigone felt it was right to bury her brother because of her families beliefs. In Episode I‚ Antigone herself said‚ “If thus thou speakest‚ thou wilt have hatred from me and

Hamlet Questions VS Assignment 7. How does Hamlet behave initially with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (through 2.2.216-66)? Is it different from the way he just acted with Polonius? How does Hamlet change when he realizes that the two were sent for by Claudius and Gertrude?

Hamlet supports a large array of themes‚ but I feel that the most prominent theme‚ by far‚ must be that of Appearance vs Reality. Shakespeare’s work‚ very much open to interpretation of the individual reader‚ makes the question of the central theme one that proves difficult to choose but simple to support no matter the decision. The play‚ filled with problems and questions answered with yeses or noes or anywhere in-between‚ creates a large area for discussion and person identification. Whether the

possibly unreliable as well. For me‚ reading the two works brought to mind Queen Gertrude’s oft-quoted phrase‚ “The lady doth protest too much‚ methinks” from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet (III‚ ii‚ 218). In the context of the play‚ Queen Gertrude is referring to the Player Queen’s promise to never remarry‚ a promise that Hamlet wishes her to make‚ but
