The setting of the entire play "Antigone" is in Thebes, the background is the Palace of Thebes. There were no scene changes that actually took place, it would be difficult and awkward for there to be a scene change so there were eleborate messenger speeches to provide a vivid picture of where the scene is taking place.

What are euphemisms in 'Antigone'?

It is particularly in Antigone's last scene that euphemisms are found in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, euphemisms are round about ways of discussing delicate or heart wrenching topics. For example, Theban Princess Antigone offers euphemisms for death. For example, she speaks of Hades giving sleep to mortals. She then talks of setting forth on her last trip, which is a euphemism for death.

What is the example of dramatic irony at the end of scene 1 in antigone?

At the end of Scene 1 in "Antigone," dramatic irony occurs when Creon, unaware of Antigone's defiance, declares his intention to uphold the law and punish anyone who disobeys it. The audience knows that Antigone has already buried her brother Polynices, directly contradicting Creon's decree. This heightens the tension, as viewers anticipate the inevitable confrontation between Creon and Antigone, knowing the tragic consequences that will follow. Creon's confidence in maintaining order contrasts sharply with the chaos that his rigid adherence to the law will unleash.
