The chorus comments on the actions of the main characters in the play 'Antigone'. Most of their comments deal with the actions of Theban King Creon. But the chorus also comments on the single-focused passionate fury of Antigone.
A bad turn of events cannot be righted is the meaning of the chorus' final passage in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus tells Creon that his fate is not enviable and that there is no avoidance or escape. The chorus previously speaks of the multiplying, relentless divine curses on the Theban royal house. Creon is the play's last hapless victim. The last passage by the chorus leader adds that Creon's own foolish choices in disrespecting divine will and Theban traditions are the poor actions that he takes in a poorly fated life.
In Antigone (Sophocles) Antigone hangs herself in the final stage of the play, inside the cave. In the Legend of Antigone through Mythology She married Creons Son, and He killed himself and Antigone.
She hangs herself inside the cave on the final stage of the play.
Oh, dude, Choragos in "Antigone" is basically the leader of the chorus. He's like the guy who's always hanging out with the chorus, giving his two cents, and just being all dramatic and stuff. So yeah, he's kind of a big deal in the play, but like, not the main character or anything.

In Sophocles' play "Antigone," the chorus expresses conflicting views on the burial of Polyneices. At first, they support Antigone's decision to honor her brother by burying him, as they believe in the importance of religious and familial obligations. However, as the play progresses, the chorus also voices concerns about the consequences of defying King Creon's decree, highlighting the tension between individual conscience and obedience to authority. Ultimately, the chorus serves as a complex and multifaceted voice that reflects the moral dilemmas central to the play.
It is the chorus that Creon assembles at the beginning of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus is made up of Theban elders. The elders are Thebes' most accomplished and respected senior citizens. They act to keep the audience entertained, informed about the play's characters and events, and instructed in the play's moral.
To represent the chorus and to summarize events is the chorus leader's job in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the leader represents the chorus of Theban elders in direct interactions with Theban King Creon. The interactions show that the leader understands royal will and provides advice if need be. The leader also summarizes events and interactions throughout the play and at the very end.
Supportively to the edict, Antigone's punishment, Ismene's release in the beginning and then supportively to Polyneices' burial and Antigone's release in the end are the ways in which the chorus leader reacts to Creon's decision in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus leader begins the play with the observation that kings rule the way that they must. He criticizes Theban Princess Antigone's emotional and disrespectful outbursts. He does not oppose Antigone's arrest and punishment, but does come out in defense of Princess Ismene's innocence. But by the end, he moves from support for his sovereign to criticism. For example, he firmly states that the bodies of Polyneices and the disloyal Theban dead need to be buried and that Antigone needs to be released from her live burial.
That he rules as he must and then that he needs to rethink his position are ways in which the chorus reacts to Creon's new edict in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon informs the chorus about his edict against burial of the disloyal Theban dead. The chorus observes that Creon must rule as he must and makes no comment on the law violating divine will and Theban traditions. But just before the end of the play, the chorus says that Creon must violate his own law by burying Polyneices and setting Antigone free.
Interact directly with the main characters is what the chorus leader can do but that the other chorus members cannot in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus entertains by dancing and singing back and forth across the stage. Its members also explain cultural and historical contexts and give insights into onstage and offstage events. But they cannot speak directly with any of the play's characters.
Yes, the chorus wears masks in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, all of the characters wear masks in the play if the staging is true to the rules of ancient Greek theater. The masks reflect the gender, personality and status of the character. But each member of the chorus dons a mask that is identical to those of the other members since the chorus of Theban elders holds one opinion and represents the Theban consensus.
