Why does the sentry return in Antigone?

The Sentry Returns Because He Wants To Prove To Creon That He Didn't Bury Polyneices Body And That He's Innocent.


Why does Creon permit no one to bury Polyneices?

Because Polyneices attacked Thebes in order to retrieve the crown from his brother Eteocles, but in the midst of it the war it caused to be waged wreaked havoc and destruction upon Thebes. Creon who saw this as treason, since Polyneices was originally from Thebes and he waged war upon his own people. In return for such a violation King Creon declares Polyneices a tyrant who does not deserve burial rites since he sunk so low enough to destroy his home nation.


What common qualities of Antigone and Creon contribute to the conflict in 'Antigone'?

Arrogance and stubbornness are Antigone's and Creon's common qualities that contribute to the conflict in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone demonstrates arrogance when in thinking that she can respect the gods but disrespect King Creon, the gods' earthly representative in Thebes. In return, Creon exhibits arrogance in thinking that he can issue a royal edict that contradicts divine will and cherished Theban traditions. They both express stubbornness in refusing to budge from their respective positions.


Who is Teiresias in 'Oedipus Rex' and 'Antigone'?

The interpreter of ritual sacrifices, the hermitresident of the hills outside Thebes, the blind prophet of Thebes and the advisor to Theban kings is who Teiresias is in "Oedipus Rex" and "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the gods take away Teiresias' sight either for revealing divine secrets to humans or for seeing Athena, goddess of wisdom, in her bath. Either way, in return and in compensation, Teiresias is a storehouse of knowledge regarding all things Theban, a seer of the future of Thebans and their city, and an advisor on present events.


How does Antigone represent youth?

Antigone represents youth in her idealism, her passion, and her selflessness. She thinks that she can defend her beliefs and live without compromise. She doesn't realize that life in the real world is a seesaw balance between the individual's dreams and the society's demands. Antigone also thinks that righteousness makes right. She doesn't realize that the most successful changes often are made slowly. Neither does she realize that irritating insects may be trapped more easily and readily by sugar than by honey. Her intensely passionate belief in the rightness of her cause leads her to not mince words. In so doing, she insults her sister, Ismene. And she disrespects her uncle and future father-in-law, Theban King Creon. She demands respect for her actions and beliefs, but doesn't return the respect to others. Additionally, Antigone has all the ardent selflessness of youth caught up in life and living. Her heart bleeds for those whom she loves and against whom she witnesses injustice. She has none of the cautious trappings of the older and wiser who thnk beyond their own generation.
