Fate and Morality in Sophocles' Theban Plays
[ send me this paper ]
A six page analysis of the way Sophocles' sense of the individual's self-determination grows through his Theban trilogy -- 'Oedipus the King,' 'Oedipus at Colonus,' and 'Antigone.' The paper asserts that by the final play, the outcomes of one's actions have become inevitable because the individual has chosen them, rather than being the result of the machinations of some god.

Heroes In Oedipus and Antigone
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the two main characters of the plays by Sophocles. Each of these individuals held a position of power in one form or another and each used their power differently with a different result. Where Oedipus was strong and perhaps blind to many truths, Antigone was a fighter yet yielded to the pressure of the truths and eventually killed herself. Oedipus was strong and ignorant, where Antigone was passionate and destroyed by the recognition of the truth. No additional sources provided.

Bibliography lists two sources.

Othello Compared With Antigone
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. A comparison between Shakespeare's 'Othello' and Sophocles 'Oedipus Trilogy' in which the writer interprets themes from both stories and finds reason to assert that Othello and Antigone were both very much alike in that they were essentially outsiders, -- alienated from a group.
