The Tragic Hero In Antigone
1,454 words
The Tragic Hero in the Play Antigone Antigone,
which was written by Sophocles, is possibly the
first written play that still exists today (www.
image 1). There is much controversy between who
the tragic hero is in the play. Some people say

her failings. In the Governors Hall, the Puritan
dignitaries are shown in their true hypocritical
light. They deemed the pleasure gained from
material objects as being ...

upper classmanship. This is very much in the same
vein as naming a magazine Esquire which, according
to my computer thesaurus, is synonyms with such
words as sir or arist...
