In a response of 2–3 paragraphs, answer the following questions: what are the beliefs of creon, antigone, and haimon about laws? compare and contrast. what is the conflict of antigone? what is the theme of antigone? how does the conflict develop the theme you identified? be specific and use evidence from the text to support your answers.

1. The first difference is gender. Creon, as a male ruler, is responsible for the welfare of the entire city. Antigone, as female, has a special role in the family, and particularly family burial rites. Thus both in doing their traditional tasks come into conflict with each other. In religion, Creon follows the proper protocol of consulting a religious authority, Tiresias.  

2. The central conflict in Antigone has to do with the object of one's reverence:  the laws of man, or the laws of the gods.  

3. A central theme of Antigone is the tension between individual action and fate. While free choices, such as Antigone’s decision to defy Creon’s edict, are significant, fate is responsible for many of the most critical and devastating events of the trilogy.

4. One of the most central conflicts in Antigone is character vs. society or character vs. state. Antigone is finding herself at odds with society, or the state because the new King Creon has issued an ordinance that she finds morally objectionable.

iago

good girl, give it to me.

emilia

what will you do with ’t, that you have been so earnest

325to have me filch it?

emilia

iago

  why, what is that to you?

iago

what’s it to you?

emilia

if it be not for some purpose of import,

give ’t me again. poor lady, she’ll run mad

when she shall lack it.

330i have use for it. go, leave me.

iago

don’t admit to knowing anything about it. i need it. now go, leave me.

exit emilia

emilia exits.

i will in cassio’s lodging lose this napkin

and let him find it. trifles light as air

are to the jealous confirmations strong

as proofs of holy writ. this may do something.

335the moor already changes with my poison.

dangerous conceits are in their natures poisons

which at the first are scarce found to distaste,

but with a little act upon the blood

burn like the mines of sulfur.

i’ll leave this handkerchief at cassio’s house and let him find it.to a jealous man, a meaningless little thing like this looks like absolute proof. this handkerchief may be useful to me. the moor’s mind has already become infected with my poisonous suggestions. ideas can be like poisons. at first they hardly even taste bad, but once they get into your blood they start burning like hot lava.

enter othello

othello enters.

    i did say so.

340look, where he comes. not poppy nor mandragora

nor all the drowsy syrups of the world,

shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep

which thou owedst yesterday.

here he comes. no drugs or sleeping pills will ever give you the restful sleep that you had last night.

othello

    ha! ha! false to me?

othello

argh! she’s cheating on me?

iago

why, how now, general? no more of that.

iago

oh, general, , no more of that!

explanation:

the main character of "the secret life of walter mitty" retreats into a false pretense as a means escape from his mundane reality -- this is a flagrant issue seen in societies abroad, typically found in young adults and it is robbing our youths of their childhood.

explanation:

a thesis -- a well developed, formal thesis is required to be one sentence long. there are many themes in "the secret life of walter mitty" and i had resolved to give you one of the simpler ones while still honing it with class.
