[ send me this paper ]

Writer argues that Antigone acts irrationally in defying Creon and could have developed some better and more productive way of coping with her brother's denied burial.

Sophocles' 'Antigone'/ Creon as a Dedicated Statesman and Altruistic Idealist
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper based on Antigone, defending Creon's dedication to the State and his role as a divine leader under Zeus. The writer argues that the defense of his ideals destroyed everyone he loved and broke his spirit, but he remained true to the defense of his statesman role nearly to the end. It is shown that Homer's intent was to demonstrate the consequences of actions rather to condemn Creon for his convictions. No additional sources cited.
