    Antigone Essay Pride is a powerful emotion‚ it can lead us to be people we are not‚ and lead us to be hurt. The act of being prideful comes from the power we are given through society‚ to say we are something others cannot say they are. Its also what makes everyone who they are‚ but too much pride can seize control of us causing an uproar of karma to surge our way. In Antigone‚ the blind prophet‚ Tiresias warns Creon that‚ “A corpse for a corpse the price‚ and flesh for flesh‚ one of your own

    1. “But now that they have gone‚ sharing their double end on a single day” (Creon) This quote was important because this was the basis for the drama of Antigone. This quote was from Creon referring to Polyneices. He was saying that since Polyneices went against Thebes‚ that Polyneices will not get buried. If this piece of the book was not said‚ this drama would not be a drama. 2. “Curse you! Find the love for your outlet down there. No women while I live shall govern me.” (Creon) This quote

    Embedded Assessment #2 “That may be‚ but Hades still desires equal rites for both.”(593) I say Antigone contracts Creon the most because she brings out his anger‚ pride‚ and disgust. I say this because other than the Chorus she interacted with the most and brought most of his poor traits out. Antigone brings out his pride because when she buried her brother’s body‚ Creon told the Chorus leader after she did her speech that‚ “But you should know the most obdurate wills are those most prone to break

    in our life controlled us we’d probably be more robots than human. The fact is‚ we control the direction of our lives and we chose the direction in which we want it to go. Forces out of our control come our way to reveal our character‚ and shape us into who we will be. In other words we have the will of choice. Choices we make often have consequences we are well aware of whether good or bad. Although at times we may feel as if we don’t have a choice‚ truthfully we do. They are called life decisions

    The Chorus of Antigone The chorus was not only a major part of Antigone‚ but also the most insightful portion of this play’s cast. The members of the chorus tell Creon and the audience very important truths about themselves. Throughout the play the chorus comments on Creon’s actions‚ and gives us all unbiased views on our hypocritical species. Without a chorus Creon’s epiphany may never have occurred and we wouldn’t have‚ as easily‚ seen our personal flaws. The chorus is included in a very
