subjected to stay at home‚ marry and bear sons. This was a much maculated society. Sophocles lived from 497-406 B.C.E in Ancient Greece during this form of democracy. His plays reflect the ancient Greek society such as gods‚ kings‚ and woman. In the tragedy Antigone the male gender have a dominate role in society symbolizing power and dominance whereas women are believed to be beautiful and submissive. Sophocles in his tragedy demonstrates the imbalance of genders and the consequences of men who

In Antigone by Sophocles (406-496 B.C.) there were many instances where gender inequality was present. I have decided to write my paper on the second option‚ which asks us to analyze Antigone’s defiance and to also explain gender representation in Antigone. First I will discuss whether or not I felt that Antigone’s defiance was political or just an act of love for her brother. I will discuss how women were treated and viewed during this time especially Antigone. If there were any instances where

everyone has their own flaws. Antigone and King Creon’s flaws‚ for example‚ cannot be hidden because their flaws are what make them up as a person. They both share more than one fault; one of many faults is hubris. Antigone had another flaw that could be considered either good or bad‚ depending on the situation; that flaw was bravery. King Creon is very close-minded‚ and that’s one of the many flaws the king has. Hubris‚ bravery and close-mindedness — the tragic flaws that Antigone‚ King Creon‚ and possibly

Sympathy for Others As stated by Sophocles in Antigone‚ "Numberless are the world’s wonders‚ but none More wonderful than man" (Ode 1 1-2). Landscapes like the grand canyon‚ the wide expanse of oceans‚ weather‚ tall mountains are all magnificent features‚ but none as great as Man. Man is the only thing in this world‚ that has free will to think about anything or do anything whenever they want to. If one wants to dance‚ he or she is free to do so‚ if one wants to sing he or she can do so. Man

According to Sophocles‚ this saying is anything but true in reality. Nevertheless‚ there are some
