In this statement Rev. Parris despairingly asks his niece Abigail how she could have betrayed him after all he had done for her. After all, it was she who enticed Tituba, the slave, into demonstrating the power of witchcraft to the young girls of the town.

Why is the action tragic in 'Antigone'?

The action in 'Antigone' is tragic, because of the choice between which of two laws to obey. Obedience to the manmade laws of Theban King Creon means disobedience to the god-given laws by which Thebans live and die. Specifically, the King wants no disloyal Theban dead to be honored with proper burial rites and rituals. But a proper burial is the god-given right of every Theban. Violation of the King's laws carries a capital punishment. Violation of the god-given laws results in eternal punishment in the underworld realm of the dead. So whichever law is followed, the consequences are fatal, be it above ground with the living or below ground with the dead. Antigone decides to put her earthly life on the line by burying her brother, the traitorous Polyneices. She isn't strong enough to break the ground and actually bury her brother. But she gives him a proper burial by sprinkling dust over his corpse, which she anoints with oil. The King learns of the burial. He orders everything undone, and guards to be posted. Antigone comes back, to check on the body. She's in the process of redoing the rites and rituals when she's arrested by the Sentry. And so the tragic action is the illegal burial of the corpse, which leads to the arrest in the act of reburial, and which results in the death sentence.


What does Oedipus think is unlucky about Laius' fatherhood in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That he has no one to defend him is what Oedipus thinks is unlucky about Laius' fatherhood in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Laius dies under mysterious circumstance. No one in Thebes looks into his death or carries out mandatory cleansing rituals. But years later, King Oedipus makes it clear that he will do what is left undone. He owes it to Laius, the first husband of Oedipus' wife Queen Jocasta.


What does shakespeare mean by the word alas?

It's an expression of sadness and regret. It often suggests that the situation is unfortunate, and so is somewhat similar to the way we might use "unfortunately". It often appears in the expression "alack the day". Examples: It would beseem the Lord Northumberland To say 'King Richard:' alack the heavy day When such a sacred king should hide his head. (Richard II) Ah, well-a-day! he's dead, he's dead, he's dead! We are undone, lady, we are undone! Alack the day! he's gone, he's kill'd, he's dead! (Romeo and Juliet) But his flaw'd heart (Alack, too weak the conflict to support!) 'Twixt two extremes of passion, joy and grief, Burst smilingly. (King Lear) Alack, I am afraid they have awaked, And 'tis not done. The attempt and not the deed Confounds us. (Macbeth) Thou bring'st me happiness and peace, son John; But health, alack, with youthful wings is flown From this bare wither'd trunk. (Henry IV Part II) It is sort of like "Alas" with which it can be used interchangeably.
