Oedipus Rex

She has decided to give her brother, Polynices, an honorable burial, although her uncle Creon (the king of Thebes) has stated that anyone to do so will be labeled an enemy and traitor to Thebes and will be killed.

It was serious

Climax.

In Oedipus Rex, Oedipus learns of a prophecy that says he will marry his mother and kill his father. He flees the town to try to prevent it from coming true but he doesn't know that the people he just left weren't his real parents. On his way to a new town, Oedipus kills his real father and ends up marrying his mother (not knowing they were his real parents). The conflict is that he tells his people that the king's murderer needs to be killed to avenge his death and remove the plague. Little does he know that he is the murderer...

Creon believes that Polyneices doesn't deserve to be buried because haha I'm just kidding I'm not going to tell you, you should of read lol I'm kidding, but it's because Creon believes that once an enemy always an enemy and Creon is on the opposing side of Thebes.

A hero is someone who does great deeds and who also may have great powers. The description applies to Theban King Oedipus. He does something that no one else manages to do. He defeats the Sphinx at her own game. She terrorizes the people of Thebes into paying exorbitant taxes. Additionally, she kills all Theban residents and visitors who try to enter or leave the city. She does so by posing an impossible riddle. Oedipus alone figures out that a human being is the life form that gets around on fours in the morning of life, on twos in the afternoon, and on threes in the evening.

his pride was his pathos because he never thougt that he was the murder of his father and the man who was damned without knowing he searched the man who was damned in fact he was that man

Answer #1 by Pernys32 She buried her brother singlehanded. She must have had big muscles. Answer #2 by Ginezumi Antigone asked her sister Ismene for help in burying their brother Polyneices. Ismene refused. Antigone indicated that she didn't have the strength to give him an actual burial on her own. Because she had to do everything herself, Antigone honored her brother with the proper burial rites and rituals even though a below-ground burial didn't take place. Instead, she covered the corpse with a light sprinkling of dust and then an anointing with the necessary, sacred oils. Perhaps the most famous representation of Antigone has been by Frederic Leighton[December 3, 1830-January 25, 1896], 1st Baron Leighton. In the style of the time, Leighton's Antigone may have been somewhat plump. But the representation was just of the head, neck, and shoulders. Leighton's interpretation and those of others may be found by entering 'Antigone' at Google Images. In actuality, Antigone may have been more physically fit than plump. Prior to the action of the play 'Antigone', she had joined her father, disgraced Theban King Oedipus, in exile. So she may have gotten a lot of exercise in their journeys. And she may have gotten used to eating sparsely. Such descriptions would fit with the two most famous representations of Antigone in film: Genevieve Bujold [b. July 1, 1942] and Irene Papas [b. September 3, 1926].

A tragic hero's tragic flaw is what helps to do the hero in. A hero is an individual who does great deeds, and has great power or strength. The tragic hero faces an unhappy reversal of fate or fortune, and even may die within the confines of the story. In the case of the play 'Antigone', the main character of the same name faces cruel punishment, and takes her own life. That reversal or that death results from an interaction with a superior force. Specifically, Antigone has a fatal interaction with her superior and her uncle, Theban King Creon. She also has a fatal interaction with the superior force of divine fate that casts a curse on her ancestor, Theban King Labdacus, and all of his descendants. That reversal or that death becomes a foregone conclusion with the hero's tragic, often fatal, flaw. The flaw tends to be pride. If nothing else, it's pride in thinking that an individual can escape the fate that the gods portion to each mortal. Such is the case with Antigone's parents, Theban King Oedipus and Queen Jocasta, who vainly try to escape their god-ordained destinies of king killing, parent killing, and mother-son marrying and procreating. But in the case of Antigone, the tragic flaw isn't pride. She never once fools herself that she will escape a death sentence for disobeying Theban law in order to obey divine law. Instead, her flaw is her raging, uncontrolled passion that disrespects different personalities and viewpoints and stubbornly refuses to try to work things out reasonably and respectfully.

Creon thinks that the sentry is been resposible for burying the body.

The Christian God isn't mentioned in 'Antigone'. The play most likely was written during the 440's Before the Christian Era. If the events were based on fact, then the happenings took place even earlier.

Yes, but not only that, they were killed by each other. This came to pass because Eteocles tried to usurp the power of kingship that he and his brother were supposed to share. As a result, Polyneices was angry and led the foreign arms of his wife's land against his own city. It is because of this betrayal by Polyneices that Creon, the new regent, will not allow any funeral rites performed on his body.

Oedipus learns from the oracle that he will marry his mother.

Oedipus's fatal flaw are his quality traits. Some examples are his arrogance, ignorance of not knowing of what he has done, and curiosity for finding out the truth. These things create his fatal flaw which lead to his fate.

Antigone is considered a tragic hero, because tragic heroes have several qualities: They are royal, they have a tragic flaw that leads to their downfall, they have an unhappy ending, and lastly the character is worthy of concern.

First, Antigone is royalty. This is shown through her bloodline in several ways. First, her father was Oedipus, who was the former king of Thebes. Also, her brothers were Polynices and Eteocles, who were supposed to rule Thebes with each brother switching off each year, until they both died in a civil war. Lastly, her uncle is Kreon, who was the king of Thebes when Antigone(the play) ends.

Next, Antigone does have a tragic flaw. Her tragic flaw is that she has hubris, which is excessive pride, and that leads her to be unbending. Ironically, Antigone means unbending in Greek. Because she is unbending, she will not denounce her decision to bury Polynices. This angers Kreon, so he sentences her to death.

Also, Antigone has an unhappy ending. as said before, she is sentenced to death. She is put in a rock hollow, which is like a cave, with only some food so Kreon would not be guilty for Anitgone's death, because he would not know when she dies. In the rock hollw, Antigone commits suicide. However, if she would have waited a few hours, she would have been rescued by Kreon, who changed his mind when Teiresias delivers a prophecy against Kreon for sentencing Antigone to death, and Koryphaios(the chorus leader) convinces Kreon to heed the prophecy. So that is Antigone's unhappy ending.

Lastly, Antigone is a character worthy of concern. Ater all, it seems that Antigone is a girl who is being oppressed by her corrupt and paranoid uncle for committing an act of loyalty to her family. Because she is the protaganist, Antigone becomes worthy of concern.

So because Antigone fullfills all the characteristics of a tragic hero, she can be considered the tragic hero.

the protagonist is Oedipus because he is the character that changes most in the play. he goes from being arrogant and pompous to being humbled by pain. the antagonist is fate because it is what caused him to change.

There was more than one tragic character in the play 'Antigone'. First and foremost were Antigone and her uncle and future father-in-law, Theban King Creon. Antigone was tragic, because she died an ignominious death. The King was tragic, because he lost everything that gave his life meaning. His son and his wife committed suicide. He no longer had a family. He lost the respect of his subjects and of his best friend and most trustworthy advisor, Teiresias the blind prophet. He no longer had a kingdom. He faced a beggarly, lonely, miserable existence in exile. But the adjective 'tragic' also could be applied to other characters as well. For example, Haemon killed himself upon finding his cousin and bride-to-be, Antigone, dead. Queen Eurydice likewise killed herself upon learning of her son's suicide and deciding not to spend another minute above ground with the King. Indeed, the adjective could be applied to all Thebans whose households mourned the deaths of loved ones in the battle between Thebes and Argos.

No, Theban King Creon's actions cannot be defended in the play 'Antigone'. The proof is in his final unhinging. As an example, he tells his son Haemon that Antigone readily can be replaced by another fiancee. Yet he falls to pieces when his wife, Queen Eurydice, commits suicide. As another example, he says that his laws must be obeyed. Antigone violates the law, and is sentenced to death. The King's son tries to run him through with a sword. Surely, that's against the law. Yet the King falls to pieces when Haemon promptly turns around and uses the sword on himself.

Oedipus thinks Creon his brother inlaw is plotting against him.

Oedipus' recognition scene comes when the shepherd who rescued him from the side of the mountain tells him the story of his infancy. From this story, Oedipus is able to deduce that Jocasta is his mother and that Laius is his father.
