Antigone Tragic Hero
848 wordsJames Monahan Mrs. Mc Nicholas English 4 AP 11 December 2000 Creon as Tragic Hero Since the play? s inception, there has always existed a contention concerning the true hero of Sophocles? Antigone. It is a widely held belief that Antigone must be the main character simply because she and the drama share name. This is, of course, a very logical assumption.

Helen Mirren Primitive Jungle Ford
608 wordsTHE MOSQUITO COAST The Mosquito Coast reunites Harrison Ford and Peter Weir after Witness, for which they both received Academy Award nominations.

Best box-office prospects for this clamorous Warner Bros. release may be a few years down the road whenever the country returns to a 60 s-type, anti-establishment period.
