Who wrote “Antigone”?

Sophocles was also an accomplish actor and performed in many of his plays.
For many years Sophocles served as an ordained priest in the service of two local heroes--Alcon and Asclepius, the god of medicine.

What did Antigone do? Do I agree with what she did? Antigone went against the laws of Creon. I agree with what she did but because she stood up for the rights of those in her family. Buy burying her brother she allowed polynecies to have the funeral that she deserved.

Stand up for what you believe, even if you stand alone- This quote relates to Antigone because Antigone was the only person that was standing up for what she believed in. No one else wanted to stand up for Antigone’s brother’s rights.

Sentry- I found Sentry interesting because he seemed to be determined to get Antigone arrested. He was always saying things like “arrest her judge her!”

Chorus- The Chorus talked to the audience and said what was happening or what was going to happen. They talked in unison and used hand movements. They were a group of people. There was also the lead Chorus character and he would talk by himself to other characters.
