Q

haemon intro

A
  • Hamon is the son on creon and fiance of antigone. I would interpreae him as full of youthful idealism, love, and reason. However, he is imsely stressed due to his hamartia; a conflict between his love for antigone and repect he has for his father. I would depict him this way as sophocles intended Haemon represents the voice of moderation and the importance of listening to different perspectives. He argues that the people of Thebes sympathize with Antigone’s actions and therefore it is important for Creon to listen to them. Sophocles wrote antigone for thefestival of dyonisis in 440 BC as a critisism of the senator perocles who had become soem wht of an autocrat. Thefore, i hope my depiction would honor sophocles original intent and make my audiance feel pathos for hamon as he is unfaily tyranised by creon.

Q

Antigone intro

A

Antigone is the protagonist and titular charter. She is the daughter of Odeupus the old king of thebes and the nice to the new king creon. I intererate her as defiant loving and courageous verging on hubristic as she stands up for what she belives in. Sophocles wrote antigone as the first book in a trillogy, for teh festival of dionisus in 440 BC. He wanted to portray to the audiance narrtives relating to the limitations of power and the importance of true democrcy inorder to critisise the sentor perocles, who had becoeme too autocrtic in his eyes. He achives this by pitting divine law and the individual in antigone againts the state symbolised by creon. Thefore i hope my interpritation woudld make the audiance root for antigone and feel pathos for he when she is unjustly berated and kileld.

23
Q

antigone pages

  • 21- 25-26 - grugument with creaon (and then ismene) - pure hubris and rooting

definat, family loving and couragous verging on huberistic

25
Q

In a question on antigone whats imortant to mention in the body of your writing

26
Q

what was teh roel of the messinger

A
  • The messenger was a character who brought news of important offstage events to the audience and other characters within the play
27
Q

Intro for the messinger

A

In ancient greek theatre the messinger was intended to inform the audice and the charters of events that had occured off stage. therefore i woudld interperate the messinger as a sensative, deeply passionate and autuned observer inorder to help the audiace expirence pathos for the death of both haemon and euridacy. This is vital as the later is a cruitial moment in the play, being Creons Anagorisis when he realised his hamartia of hubriss and stubeness to bend the law has lead to the death of both his wife and son. In the world of the play i would interperte the messinger as a soldjer as he is there wit hm when they go to retrive antigon’s body

28
Q

how would you interperate the messinger

A
  • sesatiev, deeply passionate and
29
Q

30
Q

what doe the messinger inform creon about

A

only the death of euridacy

31

32
Q

what is the world for simple minded but honest and sincer

A

guileless

33
Q

sentuary interpritation

A
  • i intwerperate the soldier as a common man, acting with guileless, loyal to the king but also albsolutly petrified highting creons tyrany and malevilace
34
Q

as a dirrector asked about the soldier what sould u say

A
  • I would cast a tall, brawny ruggid looking man and dress him in full hepolight armer inoder to create a justapositionwith his and creons physical strenth. This would emphais creons tyrany of power as enven though he is much weeker he is still able to intimidate teh soldier.
35
Q

what thing could u breifly mention about the solidier

A

in their eyes a flicker of sympathy for Antigone’s plight as he leaves, highlting how even he recognises that her exicution will be unjust.

A
  • prolog
  • 25-26
38
Q

introduction ismene

A
  • Ismene is the eldest daughter of the old king of late king of thebes oedipus and the niece to the new king creon. I interperate her as cautious and compliant as she is deeply afaid of creon but i would also have her show a deep sense of family orientation at her core. Sophocle wrote antigoen as part of a trillogy for the festival of dyonysus in 440 BC. He wanted to highlight themes of family loyalty, the individual and divine law against the state as well as nessisary limitatiosn on power inoder to critisise the sentor perocles who he viewed to eb acting to autocrticlly. I would hope to make my audiance feel pathos for isnsene as she is clearly terrifed of either her or antigone disobeying creon ( sophocles architipal tyranical ruler meant to mirror perocles). Therefore i would also honer sophocles original intent.
