How does Antigone treat Creon as she is taken to her tomb in 'Antigone'?

As though he does not exist to his face and critical behind his back are the ways in which Antigone treats Creon as she is taken to her tomb in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon is twice in her path when Princess Antigone is escorted from the royal palace to her imprisonment in a walled-up cave. Both times Creon heckles her and smirks about her lonely, miserable death away from all light and all companionship. Both times Antigone acts as though he is not even there, but once outside his presence criticizes his offensive law and finally curses him with the same degree of suffering.


What is the significance of Antigone's sprinkling wine three times?

Antigone sprinkling wine three times over Polyneices' corpse is significant as the carrying out of proper funerary procedure for a dead Theban. According to the play, Antigone can't give her traitorous brother a proper below ground burial. So she fulfills the funerary requirements with a partial, above ground burial. She does so by sprinkling dust and then pouring drink offerings to the gods three times.


Why did Jean Anouilh write 'Antigone'?

Jean Marie Lucien Pierre Anouilh [June 23, 1910-October 3, 1987] was interested in individual and mass reactions to established authority. He found that theme in the ancient, classical play 'Antigone'. So he decided to update the story, and have it performed in modern times. His play opened on February 6, 1944. It quickly was interpreted as a statement against the Nazi occupation of France, and as support for the French Resistance.

Why might developing unifying themes be helpful in a study of history?

Developing unifying themes in the study of history can provide a clearer framework for understanding complex events and trends. These themes help to connect disparate events and cultures, highlighting commonalities and shared experiences that might otherwise be overlooked. Additionally, they can facilitate comparative analysis, allowing historians to draw lessons from different times and places. Ultimately, unifying themes can enhance our comprehension of historical narratives and their relevance to contemporary issues.
