Question

PLZ HELP W ESSAY ASNWERS IM DIEING

(Reference: Act II lines 495-523) These lines reflect Antigone’s values. Using examples from the text, how would you describe her views about life and death? How do her views differ from Creon’s?


(Reference: Act III lines 704-809) Compare Creon’s feelings and expectations toward his son to those of Haemon towards his father. Describe their opposing political views. (Remember to use examples from the text.)

Answer 1

Antigone loved life and hated death. Nonetheless, Creon convinced her to try opiate drugs. Creon hated everything and wanted Antigone to suffer the way he had. After Antigone became addicted to the drugs, Creon dumped her for the woman he would marry.

Creon expected his son to become a physician and pull the family out of poverty. Haemon wanted to be a doctor, though his father was an artist. Creon was sure he could convince his son to study medicine, but Haemon was very resentful of his father, feeling that his own father was lazy and a loafer, as well as a beggar.

Haemon, ultimately ran for public office. He was never happy, because he never gained his father's approval and he also never became a physician. Ultimately, after losing his bid for a public office, Haemon killed himself.

Creon's son, on the other hand, did become a physician and, in contrast to Haemon, Creon's son healed many people. One died, while the other continue to bring life to the world.

I don't have a book on hand, so you will have to find these passages, yourself.
