In the story 'Antigone', the sentinel has a definite purpose in seeking his first audience with Theban King Creon. He wants to inform the King of evidence of proper funerary procedures having been carried out over the dead body of Polyneices, one of the disloyal Theban dead. Such procedures are in accordance with divine justice, morality, rites, rituals and traditions. But they are in direct contradiction of the King's manmade law on the non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. It's somewhat difficult to ascertain the sentinel's character. For he makes so few appearances in the play 'Antigone'. And he operates under the constraint of being a guard who doesn't have much culture or education, and whose livelihood depends upon carrying out the King's orders, be they wise or insensitive or foolish. Understandabaly, he and the other guards fight over which one is going to tell the King of the violation of the law. Not one of the guards wants to be blamed for the crime, charged with not doing their jobs, or found in the dangerous position of the bearer of bad news.

Is Betty Boop from the 50's?
No. Betty Boop made her first appearance in a Fleischer Talkartoon cartoon "Dizzy Dishes," in 1930. In that first appearance, Betty was a dog-literally. By 1932 Betty Boop's appearance had evolved into its final appearance. Betty's floppy poodle-like ears had become hoop earrings and her black puppy nose had become a girl's pug nose. For some time she was a supporting character in other Fleischer cartoons before becoming the star of her own cartoon series. In the 1950's, Betty Boop's cartoons turned up on television, and Betty had a second run of popularity. Her most recent appearance was as a black and white cameo character in the full-color 1988 live-action/animated feature, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"
