Analyzing the cause-and-effect relationships within a text can help us to better evaluate the author’s theme. In thinking about the theme of Antigone, consider the choices each character makes. Antigone buries Polyneices in spite of Creon’s edict. Creon enforces his law in spite of his relationship with his niece. What led them to these actions, and what effect did each of these actions have on the outcome of the drama? What message was Sophocles attempting to convey to the audience? These are the questions you need to consider as you work toward an evaluation of theme.

Compose a journal entry evaluating the theme of Antigone. Use the knowledge you have gained from exploring the cause/effect relationships in the play to help defend your evaluation. Include direct quotes from the text to support your arguments.

Answer:

Short story:

Antigone was an ancient play written by a guy named "Sophocles". Antigone's brothers got into a battle and it ended with them both killing each other with their bare hands. When King Creon only wanted to bury only the "one brother", and not the other Antigone was furious and wanted to take matters into her own hands. Though with her sister already trying to stop her, she still refused. (Before she tried to ask her sister to help with the burial but she was against it... which made her take the circumstance into her own hands.) When a guard caught her burying the body of her dead brother, he arrested her and sent her to the king for further punishment. When Ismene arrives (the sister of Antigone who refused to help her), claims that she did indeed help Antigone bury the body. But because Ismene is not being truthful, Antigone swears that she had nothing to do with the burial. Though as punishment, both the woman are brought to be imprisoned while he decides to "finalize" the idea further. The "Chorus of Theban Elders" insists to let them go. So with that, the King finally agrees... Before any other action, a messenger reports that Antigone is dead. Hung by a rope she took her own life.

Because of so many of the deaths on the King's hands, he starts to feel guilty for all the incidents he caused. And for his family... yea most of them are dead which leaves King Creon alone.

(This took a fat minute lol, hope this kinda helped?)
