What news does the sentry bring on his first visit to Creon in 'Antigone'?
That Polyneices' body is buried and that the perpetrator is long gone is the news that the sentry brings on his first visit to Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon denies to his perceived enemies their god-given rights as Thebans to below ground burials. He enforces his prohibition by a royal edict. He has guards posted immediately after making the edict public. But a sentry lets Creon know that his edict already is violated and that Creon's disgraced nephew Polyneices' body already is covered with a dusty layer that constitutes a partial burial.
What news is the Sentry reluctant to deliver to Creon in 'Antigone'?
That the body of Polyneices is covered with dust is the news that the Sentry is reluctant to deliver to Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the Sentry guards the exposed bodies of the disloyal Theban dead. He is ordered to do so because of Theban King Creon's edict of non-burial of Theban traitors. Many oppose the edict, which denies to Polyneices and his Theban supporters the god-given rights of all Thebans to below ground burials and proper funeral rites. The Sentry reels with fear at the thought of his sovereign's reaction to the civil disobedience.
Who does Creon think is responsible?
Creon thinks that the sentry is been resposible for burying the body.
What does the Sentry find strange about the semi-burial of Polyneices' body?
The fact of the illegality of any form of burial to the disloyal Theban dead is what the Sentry finds strange about the semi burial of Polyneices' body. Also the fact of the clueless identity of the perpetrator is something else that the Sentry finds strange. He can't imagine why anyone would dare to disobey Theban King Creon's law, particularly in the light of the death sentence that violation carries.
Why does the sentry lead Antigone into Creon's presence on his second visit in 'Antigone'?
That she is caught violating the law is the reason why the sentry leads Antigone into Creon's presence in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone breaks her uncle King Creon's law of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. She buries her brother Polyneices' body before guards are posted. She comes back to check on her work and is captured. The sentry escorts to be interrogated and sentenced by Creon.
How does the Sentry feel about delivering Antigone to Creon in 'Antigone'?
Compassion and relief are the sentry's feelings when he delivers Antigone to Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the sentry demonstrates compassion in describing Theban Princess Antigone's pain at the sight of her brother Polyneices' re-exposed body. He exhibits relief in finding the law breaker. He knows that he will not be tortured or killed just because hot-tempered King Creon cannot find the actual perpetrator.
What does Creon say happens to Polyneices' body in 'Antigone'?
That it is buried is what Creon says happens to Polyneices' body in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon refuses to allow the bodies of his nephew Polyneices and of the other disloyal Theban dead to be buried. He requires re-exposure of Polyneices' body both times that it is partially buried by Princess Antigone. But he ultimately reverses his non-burial edict. He says that the proper burial is done.
