Antigone Study Guide

Antigone Study Guide 1) Antigone †Daughter of Oedipus, extremely forward, she goes out to cover her sibling despite the fact that it was violating the law of King Creon and gets captured for it and executed, likewise promised to Haemon. Ismene †Another little girl of Oedipus, tentative, doesn’t need to defy Creon. Ismene gets up to express her real thoughts for her sister when Antigone is confronted with the wrongdoing of moving their sibling body. Lord Creon †Brother of Jocasta (whom ended it all. ) Was a skipper/general of armed force and the following leader of Thebes, exemplary, needs to be obeyed by everybody or results in death for them. Haemon †Son of Creon, promised to Antigone, and has a sentimental relationship with her. Haemon get irate when he gets some answers concerning the loss of his lady of the hour and afterward kills himself and bites the dust holding her dead body. Tiresias †A soothsayer, comes to Creon and discloses to him that he needs to discharge Antigone or more individuals will bite the dust and he will be in an exceptionally sad position, Creon doesn’t head his words in sufficient opportunity and winds up hopelessly. Eurydice †Wife of Creon; executes herself with a sharp blade to the heart when she gets some answers concerning the demise of her child Haemon. A Sentinel †Just educates Creon regarding happenings around Thebes; and encourages him to discover Antigone when they are searching for the criminal. 2) The emotional impact to show how the entirety of the remainder of their family have terribly died by murder or their own hands, sort of foretelling what will befall these last two youngsters. Ismene’s perspective on the contrast among people is that ladies are conceived ladies they aren’t intended to control they are to be beneath men, and to be submissive. 3) She will lay with him for whatever length of time that required regardless. â€Å"The forces of earth won't be tantamount to the forces of the Gods. She enthusiastically to do anything for her dead sibling to cover him, â€Å"do sacred things criminally,† is a paradoxical expression since blessed is implied be acceptable and honest however doing it criminally which is a ‘conflict of values’ between great, heavenly and awful, criminal. 4) There is a law set by Creon not to cover or contact the assortment of Antigone’s dead sibling, yet Antigone needs to cover him regardless of at what cost. Individuals today need things that are unlawful for them to do, for instance, when a separated from parent hijacks their own kid from the custodial parent, law says it’s not their kid but rather they do anything for their youngster they love. ) The Chorus is a gathering of Thesbian Senators; the utilization of feeling maneuvered the peruser into the composition and the astounding stream with composing rhyming and beat made it simple to get increasingly retained in the entry, feeling how individuals tuning in to this play would feel. 6) He is contrite for all the difficulty individuals had while they were managed by Oedipus, utilizes the correlation with a boat and blustery oceans once more, discloses to them they can get a protected balance now. He says that passing anticipates anybody that conflicts with him or cont acts that body. Their convictions are comparable in light of the fact that they are both out for affection for something and are not letting anybody hinder them. ) The 1 Senator, proposed, â€Å"This must be something more than natural,† as to state that it could be something strange and theoretical. We see that the body is sprinkled with a residue given a custom at that point covered, and that vanishing bodies was simply insane. 8) He is depicting sin and allurement when he says that it ruins urban areas, expels/runs men out from their families and homes, drives them on an inappropriate way, and sets people on not upright activities the divine beings need but rather exactly what a human needs and their senses. 9) He acts somewhat flabbergasted, at that point inquires as to whether she will admit to it or not. He addresses her absent a lot other discussion and with the appropriate responses Antigone gives, Creon gets increasingly furious seeing that she considers him to be not sufficiently high position, and that she will just tune in to laws made by the divine beings, and Creon wouldn't like to be requested around by a ladies. 10) I feel that Antigone decision was a silly strict fanaticism. There were laws set by her ruler and she ignored them since she felt like just laws made by divine beings genuinely made a difference, and that defying a ruler would have no impact or discipline for her with anybody however Creon. 1) Ismene needs incredible her sister, she wouldn't like to watch her sister pass on then need to live without her. Despite the fact that she was shy and didn’t really breath the law and contact the body or be engaged with its transportation. She discloses to Creon she was included and become resistant and firm needing what she needs. 12) They tell how the historical b ackdrop of family proceeds down the entire line and one error will destroy their beneficiaries until the end of time. They additionally state how much wrong Antigone’s family has made and all after them of their kids will be cursed also. The sickle dangerous, of the leaders of the dead, and the wild words out of hand, and the free for all of her own spirit, again cut down the shoot. † Explains of what all her family had done and that it needs to end. 13) Haemon goes from basically concurring with his dad to addressing Ceron’s option to do this to his pledged. At that point the two begin to fight about Creon trusting Haemon is following a ladies as opposed to him, when he is extremely simply raising legitimate inquiries. Haemon is simply attempting to demonstrate that it wasn’t attempting to conflict with Creon’s law when she took her sibling, however was simply paying special mind to him since she cherished her sibling. 14) He transforms it so the blood of her demise can't be followed back to anybody, when she bites the dust alone in a cavern with some food arrangements. Additionally to represents that the dead ought not be upset to be covered like she endeavored to do with her sibling, and to demonstrate that she is, â€Å"A lost work to worship the dead. † 15) We see a miserable side of Antigone, were she says it will be her last time seeing light and she never had a wedding or a wedding tune. The melody sort of says, ‘be glad, don’t be miserable, you didn't go to the grave with a plague, or wounded with a blade, you’re setting off to the grave alive! ’ 16) When Creon sees Tiresias, Tiresias inquires as to whether he will follow what he says, Creon says he generally does, yet Tiresias begin to frighten Creon when he begins to talk. That adds to the sensational impact, needing to recognize what Tiresias will say. He says that it was all in all correct to cover the body and that nobody ought to be rebuffed for it. Additionally that in the event that she isn’t discharged there will be more passings, at that point just Antigone’s. 7) Initially Creon is astounded and wouldn't like to do what Tiresias is recommending. It follows his character and his not had any desire to not be right and his need for power. Creon discovers that the laws of the divine beings are a higher priority than his own, despite the fact that he doesn’t need to acknowledge it. 18) Creon went to check for the voice of his child Haemon in the cavern before opening the cavern, to discharge Antigone. Doing so caused the passings of, Haemon, Polynices, and Antigone. On the off chance that Creon had spared Antigone first it would have in all likelihood spared Haemon when he saw his pledged. Doing what Creon did demonstrates how much his pride precedes any other person. 19) Antigone †Hung herself with material rope in the grave where she was left beyond words. Haemon †Stabbed himself through the chest with a blade subsequent to seeing Antigone’s dead body and holding her in his arms. Eurydice †Dead at the special stepped area of Creon’s house, killed dead with a sharp edged knife to her hear with her own hands. Polynices †Found dead at the highest point of a slope, on the slope with wild mutts surrounding him taking their offers. 20) Creon discovers that by denouncing others he censured his family and they ll disastrously observed their destiny since he couldn’t let Antigone burry her sibling, that a lot more individuals near Creon kicked the bucket. 21) Antigone is a ‘Tragic Figure’ on the grounds that she kicks the bucket in the story and causes the crowd to feel awful for her since she was rebuffed seriously for at tempting to make her proud sibling and cover him. While King Creon is the genuine ‘Tragic Hero’ on the grounds that he sees his wrong after pride and force set him off kilter and down an inappropriate way, and after he saw the light, it was past the point where it is possible to fix what had just started, and a lot more individuals passed on when nobody needed to endure or pass on by any stretch of the imagination.

What YOURE Doing This Summer! (2010 Edition!)

What YOU’RE Doing This Summer! (2010 Edition!) Dear Internet, No, I am not dead yet. I had a lot of great food in New York. I went to Europe for a week, where I had more great food. I am now back at MIT. I took a long nap in the library today. I can feel MITs gaping maw ready to swallow me whole again. In other words BRING IT ON!!!!!! So guys, sorry for the hiatus in posting the photo contest results. I received over twenty entries, so thanks for your enthusiasm! :) (although tsk tsk to the person who sent me pictures that were 20 MB EACH. dang son! haha) Here we gooooo! HONORABLE MENTIONS: Lets begin with two group pictures and stories of groupwork: From Louis, 14, New York City A photo from Peru after 4 days working to clear the yard of bricks, hills, and assorted shrubbery. I went on this trip to Peru with the St. Marcellin Society (which has a chapter affiliated with my High School). The majority of the trip was spent in Chulucanas doing service work while we stayed in the Bishops House: Clearing out The Pit so the school could build something in the lot, Teaching English to a class (and watching them sing I Got a Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas), and painting the auditorium. We also visited a Nursing Home and an Orphanage and got trounced in sports by the locals. After a week of this, we went to Lima and Cuzco for a few days to be tourists and see Macchu Picchu. The picture is a picture of our group of 12 standing on the brick pile in The Pit after we were finished working in it. Then the next kind of work is something thats close and dear to my heart (working with Asian communities in Chinatown which I have been doing all four years of my time at MIT). From Ting, 13 transfer from Mount Holyoke, China I took this picture outside Chinese-American Planning Council in Chinatown, Manhattan, New York City. I am the first one on the left in the first row, holding the banner. We are the summer interns and volunteers at the Chinese-American Planning Council for the biennial Walkathon and Family Day Fair. On Saturday, July 31, 2010, the Chinese-American Planning Council (CPC) brought together over 2,000 participants for a fundraising Walkathon and Family Day Fair with the theme Community Walks Today, for the Youth of Tommorow. All the proceeds will go to CPCs youth programs, which are significantly affected by the city budget cuts. Starting from Columbus Park, participants crossed the Brooklyn Bridge and then returned to the park. As summer interns, we prepared this big event for nine weeks. Lets turn now to two sets of traveling pictures(I must say I got a good laugh out of the first one, and I just had to include the picture of CROATIA Lake Plitvice was a place that I really wanted to visit this summer when we were in Croatia but really could not due to time constraints) From Ioana, 14, Bucharest, Romania I traveled during the summer with my family to Turkey and with the Romanian International Physics Olympiad team to Hungary, Belgium and Croatia. I attached some photos: -Shop in Kusadasi, Turkey -Ada Land delfinarium near Kusadasi, Turkey -Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia From Chelsea, 14, Pleasanton, CA In June, my family went to Kauai, HI for a week. During our vacation, we did two awesome things: (1) helicopter ride, and (2) zip lining. Since we only took videos during zip lining (with lower quality than these pictures), I only attached pictures from the helicopter ride (though zip lining was just as if not more awesome than the helicopter ride). Also: since I couldnt get a picture of me with the scenery of the helicopter ride, there are two pictures. On the ride, we learned that Kauai is home to the wettest place on Earth, Mt. Waialeale (Wai-ale-ale), which averages more than 472 inches (roughly 39 feet!) of rain every year. This means that the island is very green and pretty. Because of the island’s beautiful environment, Jurassic Park was filmed on Kauai. Pirates of the Caribbean 4 was also filmed on Kauai a week after we left. And in case you were wondering, Im the one in the white (but not the helicopter driver, though that would be a pretty amazing job). And I think this qualifies as very MIT From Sean, 15 prospective, Concord, NH The Boat_Race pictures were taken during a sailboat race yesterday. The black Jolly Roger sails belong to my boat, which is a 1969 sunfish (yep, it’s 41 years old. Great find on Craig’s list.), and I was so intent on the race, I forgot to take a picture of myself sailing. The race was at Crystal Lake in Gilmanton, NH, and last year, I had a full pirate getup to match my swashbucklin’ vessel, but I finished last. Tactics changed from style to speed this year. It worked, I finished first. Drink up me hearties, -sean P.S. â€" Pirates Trump Ninjas, Yo Ho! Finally, in the Honorable Mentions category, a special place must go to this guy with Animal Planet pictures From Anthony, 15 prospective, Johannesburg, South Africa Hey Chris, Here are two photos of what Ive been up to this winter in fact (Southern Hemisphere just has to be different, doesnt it? ;] ) Both were taken at a lion park outside of Johannesburg, in South Africa. Im South African, but moved to study in Europe several years ago, still return for holidays though! Little note on the lion cubs, the photo with me in shows the cubs just before breakfast time (porridge) and they paid very minimal attention to my existence. After they were fed photo number two was taken :]. There were two rules when going in with the cubs, no picking them up, and no letting them bite you (bad habit for them to start apparently _), which ruined my plan of bragging to my European friends that I was bitten by a lion, even if it was only a month or two old. THIRD PLACE: Not entirely unbiased because I am Taiwanese, but I think cheering on foreign athletes in the US is awesome :) From Eric, 13, Taiwan This picture is taken at New Hampshire Fisher Cats Baseball Field. Cheer for all the Taiwanese athlete players in the US! SECOND PLACE: Theres not much to see except a lot of blue, but I must admit that the cool factor just dominated this picture. Is this kind of project amazing or what?!?! From Max, 15 prospective, Western Massachusetts View from a balloon i launched, about 80000 feet above the ground. It was taken by an automated camera attached to a weather balloon which i launched. Pretty cool right? ANDDDD the grand finale: FIRST PLACE: So I am a big Miyazaki fan, and Studio Ghibli was such a big part of my childhood (and even now!). I must take my metaphorical hat off to this fantastic culinary creation by Greg, however. One, because its TOTORO! Totoro, Totoro, Totoro! (hes even in Toy Story 3!) Two, because it looks wonderfully meticulous and I know I would never be able to pull something like this off in the kitchen. My only suggestion is to add some makkurokurosukes next time on the side. :) Shouldnt be hard if you managed Toroto! :p From Greg, 15 prospective Im going to be an applicant this year, and as such have spent a good deal of my free time trolling around the admission site blogs waiting for the application to be released. I saw your competition and couldnt resist sending in this photo of the birthday cake I made for my brother earlier this summer. Hes a big fan of everything Miyazaki, but Totoro is by far his favorite character (he painted the portrait of Totoro in his art class). The cake took me about 18 hours of work, most of which was spent wrestling with the fondant skin (a material Ive never worked with before), and was worth every minute. He was so happy, and it tasted magnificent too. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did! THE PRIZE! I first came across this game in the game cabinet of a New York cafe, and then very soon I thought the idea was very cool and I thought it was something that I would want on my bookshelf :) Basically, the premise of this is that you have a tube filled with plastic thingies, and there are about four dozen-ish little things hidden in the tube, and you can find them by turning the tube around. Apparently the hardest thing to find in the tube is the penny thats hidden inside, and I am still unable to find it in this one, haha. :) (ps. once you find the penny, you can go online to the game website and enter the serial number of the tube and the year on the penny to see whether you got it right!) Have fun! :) Thanks for all your entries! ^_____^
