The poem Evening Hawk may appear to be about a hawk going about during the night‚ yet it is more than that. It is a poem in which Robert Penn Warren illustrates the transition from day to night and compares it to human flaws.

Antigone: Protagonist or Misinterpreted Innocence? A literal “age old” argument that has sparked intelligent conversation since the BC era is still as potent as ever in Sophocles’ Greek tragedy‚ Antigone. Since the play’s origin‚ there has always been a toss-up as to who the true tragic hero‚ or protagonist‚ is.
