Death Of Socrates Laws Of The Gods

... sition. Regardless of the righteousness of his
condemnation of Antigone, he believes that, should
Antigone be allowed to defy the law and live, his
own rule would suffer. To Creon, the most
important element of the situation is the
disregard for his decree -- the strength of the
state, he vows, must never be held in check by an
individual (especially a woman). During Socrates'
trial, he also maintains his innocence on grounds
that he was doing only what the gods required of
him. However, the...

Reader Feels Final Decision
717 words
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...

and of conscience. There are few matters which
stir such heated debate, there are both
abolitionists and receptionists, there are also
those in the middle, the people who can discern
legitimacy from each group. Each group has a set
of beliefs which do apply to this matter, perhaps
some groups subscribe to the old testament and its

... n this little episode we can see Estelle's
honesty and sweetness, since none of the disguised
brutality found in the fantasies of the other two
women is evident in the story that Estelle
reveals. Along with maintaining an ironic balance
within Rape Fantasies, Estelle's personality
revelations introduce other ideas into the story.
Her casual friendly banter can take a complex,

one naive workingwoman's thoughts. She mentions

rather annoying and bothersome. Of course Gerunds
are I-N-G words that look like verbs but act like
nouns in sentences. For example the sentences

like skating and There are many moves in ice

predicate nominative following a linking verb, as

H G Wells Time Traveller

... disposition. The only way the Time Traveller
changed throughout the story was in his knowledge
of the future of mankind. This knowledge, I
believe, made him more prepared and confident in
his own time and place. However, he needed not be
confident, for in the end, he didnt stay in his
own place for long. Though the Time Traveller was
the main character in the story, the narrator was
probably the most important. He was one of the men
at every dinner, so his insights into the story
