Antigone
Journal Prompt: On Page 12, Creon states, “No such ill currency ever appeared, as money to mankind : This is it that sacks cities, this routs out men from their homes, and it trains and turns astray the minds of honest mortals, setting them upon base actions.” What is he saying and do you agree?

Antigone
In the play Antigone, by Sophocles, the character Creon goes through many different conflicts. Each of these conflicts helps to shape the way he feels and how he judges people and actions.

Antigone
How Tragic! Even though Antigone and King Creon both had to suffer throughout the play for their individual, various reasons, I think that Antigone suffered the most. Antigone has had a twisted fate even before birth. Her family was very abnormal. Besides being married to her cousin, her father was also her brother. Before she was born, her dad married his mom unknowingly. When he found out, they had already bore four children. He

Antigone
One commentator has argued in "Antigone" that Antigone's "view of what is right is as twisted as that of Creon." Although I do not believe that either Antigone's or Creon's view is "twisted," I do believe that their fate is a direct result of their extreme pride and stubbornness. In "Antigone," Sophocles examines the conflict between the requirements of human and divine law that is centered on the burial of Polynices, Antigone's brother and Creon's

Antigone
We are not what we are; we are who society recognizes us to be. The responses from society for our actions are what gives us our sense of self. Without other people your identity does not exist for it is society who acknowledges or denies the individual their identity. We are who society allows us to be. Society represents that which is more powerful than the individual. Society’s needs are always greater than the individual.

Antigone and Pilate Dead
Sophocles’ Antigone and Toni Morrison’s Pilate Dead share similar characteristics: an intense and almost strange sense of family, a general disregard for written law and courage in the face of death. To compare Antigone and Pilate, however, one cannot lose sight of the inner drive in these women. Antigone fears the power and wrath of the gods, while Pilate only fears disappointing her dead father’s ghost. Family is such a large part of both of

Nobody is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. Some mistakes are little and others are big. An example of a big mistake is when Bill Clinton lied to everyone in the United States. An example of a small mistake is when someone does not say “thank you” when someone else does a favor for him or her. In the play Antigone by Sophocles there is a quote that says that everyone makes mistakes but a good person

Out of all the main characters in Julius Caesar, I chose Antony to write about simply because he is so interesting. The first personality trait he shows is obedience, as revealed in Act 1 Scene 2.

Appearance and Reality in Othello
Can we ever know the truth about a person? Is it possible to know if someone is lying to us? How can we discover what lies behind the words someone tells us? Shakespeare was fascinated with these questions. Many of his most evil characters were thought by others in the play to be sincere and truthful. In Othello, this theme has its most potent and dramatic realization in the character of Iago. Iago fools everyone

Appearance vs. reality in ShakespeareТs Hamlet is a jaded yet common theme. This play is teeming with characters that play their roles behind a veil of duplicity.

He mourns so deeply the death of his father and hatred for his motherТs ignorance that he appears to be quite insane, when
