The True Tragic Hero In Sophocles Antigone
475 words
Antigone, is the drama written by Sophocles. There
is still a great debate on who is the true tragic
hero in Sophocles' Antigone, Creon or Antigone.
Many people believes that it must be Antigone,
herself. This is because Antigone is an
outstanding example of someone who did what she
thought was right, while she was among fools, many
hardships, and people who were discouragingly un
courageous. When the king Creon ordered that the
body of Polyneices, Antigone's brother, be left to
rot unburied bec...

Reader Feels Final Decision

When a play-write creates a tragedy, two of the
main aspects that need to be included are feelings
of pity and fear on the readers part. In Sophocles
Antigone, the presence of fear and pity are very
obvious. The people who suffer cause the reader to
feel the need to comfort them. It is an example of
a very strong tragedy. The main idea or theme
behind Antigone, is that one should listen to
other peoples opinions or advice and consider it
before making any final decision or actions. This
theme ca...

Church Was Very Powerful Power Of The Church People

It was very difficult for kings to control the
church. The church was very powerful. It could
make people scared and tell them theyre going to
hell. They could even tell the king they were
going to hell. One man who got power off of the
church was Henry VIII. He did so by closing down
all catholic churches and creating the Church of
England. One good example of kings not getting
power of the church is King Henry II and Thomas
Beckett. Henry asked Thomas Beckett to become
Archbishop of Canterbury...

The Tragic Hero In Antigone

Antigone is a Greek tragic piece that stresses the
use of power and morality versus the law written
by Sophocles. Both Antigone and Creon, the main
characters in the play, could represent the tragic
hero. A tragic hero is a character who is known
for being dignified and has a flaw that assists to
his or her downfall. In my opinion, Creon best
qualifies for being the tragic hero and fitting
the definition read in the previous sentence. The
