  • Oedipus Rex Tragic Hero
    361 words
    While both Sophocles and Euripides are considered writers of Greek tragedy, their plays (Antigone, Oedipus Rex, Medea) have some subtle and some profound differences. In both Antigone and Oedipus Rex, the tragic heroes suffer from a major character flaw- hubris. The tragic hero of Medea does not appear to have such a contrived flaw, as she is not forced to suffer from her actions in the play (killing her children, etc. ). Because Euripides made little mention of the forces of divinity as they ef...

  • Position Of Women Independence
    597 words
    The Roles of Females in Dramatic Literature Women have always fought for independence from men from the earliest days of existence. In earlier centuries it was not as powerful as a movement as it is today because so many more women push for independence than they did before. Yet, many women in the past have fought for their independence even until death. We know very little about these women because they were suppressed and not told about. Only a few of their stories found their way into storyte...

  • Chorus Creon Play Creon's
    461 words
    The Chorus of Antigone The chorus was not only a major part of Antigone, but also the most insightful portion of this plays cast. The members of the chorus tell Creon and the audience very important truths about themselves. Throughout the play the chorus comments on Creon's actions, and gives us all unbiased views on our hypocritical species. Without a chorus Creon's epiphany may never have occurred and we wouldnt have, as easily, seen our personal flaws. The chorus is included in a very effecti...

  • Commits Suicide Greek Myths
    1,389 words
    Greek Ideas on Gender Roles Throughout history, the roles of women and men have always differed to some degree. In ancient Greece, the traditional roles were clear-cut and defined. Women stayed home to care for children and do housework while men left to work. This system of society was not too far off the hunter gatherer concept where women cared for the house and the men hunted. Intriguingly enough, despite the customary submissive role, women had a more multifaceted role and image in society ...

  • Lot Of Money Ancient Greek
    756 words
    What role does the chorus play in the play? In ancient Greek plays, the role of the chorus was to sing lyrical passages. The lyrical passages were set up by the writer and the chorus would then perform dance movements to compliment those lyrics. In todays day and age, it is the cast members in many musicals who depict the role as the chorus. However, in some cases, the chorus also helps assist the modern reader in interpreting ancient terminology used during that period. I believe that the choru...
