If im honest there's something missing from this Antigone. Something doesnt seem right, i think it's the lack of her emotion. Im glad i wasnt there as an audience because it seems abit boring.

[BorofAreguzanda]

There was an audience.

[anassmaroc]

this is good where i can find the complete piece

[BorofAreguzanda]

Thanks. I have it all uploaded in nine pieces.

This is not a great performance of the scene - I think that it lacks pace and energy; also, both Ismene and Antigone need to be more emotional. They've just lost thier two brothers - I think they would definitely be more upset! Also, isn't this scene supposed to take place at night outside Thebes - the mood onstage should be more tense and secretive, as Antigone is plotting to defy her uncle, Creon (or at least that's what's it's like in the Sophocles version of Antigone).

2. Antigone on the other hand feels not only obliged by the moral and divine law to disobey Kreon's blasphemous order, but she also cannot bear the thought of leaving her beloved brother's body unburied to be eaten by insects, crows and voltures. And it is this love and sorrow that gives her the strength to ignore her tyrant uncle's wrath. I think your first question can only be answered by careful study of the play.

1. I have studied this tragedy at school many years ago, both in the original ancient and its translation in contemporary Greek. So maybe i can lelp at least with 3 of your questions.

Both Antigone and the King are aware of the moral and devine law that demands respect for the dead no matter what they are guilty of. Kreon is definately a tyrant, an absolute ruler who defies this law, thus showing off his power to his subjects.

[Danielleandlauren001]

this is not that good not no emotion and antigone was just not good,

[KrazeeAreli456]

I need help!!!

1.how does the conflict of moral or divine law versus the rule of law develops in the play???

2.how do Antigone and her values represent moral or divine law?

3.how does the king and his values line up with the rule of law?

4.Is the king a strong leader, a tyrant, or both? how does he abuse his powers?

You guys would be a great big help for answering these questions!!! :)
