itself in the form of poor judgment and arrogance,
condemning the hero to a disastrous end and
establishing the character's destiny. Antigone is
a tragic heroine deeply conflicted between her
virtue and her hubris, personifying courage in her
civil disobedience against criminal "leadership. "

perspective we are not used to seeing in our
popular culture. Even so, her works contain such

Coy Mistress by Marvell and Donne s Flea. By using
clever metaphors and meter, the poems not only are
symbolic, but have almost a physical aspect to
them. Though both poems take a similar approach,
it is Marvell t...
