Antigone by Sophocles:  Passion vs. Rationality I
In Elements of Literature 4th Edition

Overarching Question for the unit:

How is character revealed? (STEAL)
What are the patterns of Imagery in the play?
What vision of life, morality, and the gods' relationship with men emerges from this play?
What does this play have to say about women and their position in Greek society?
Compare and contrast the chorus on the wonders of man (76-77) with statement from Sophocles' Oedipus at Colonus: "Not to be born is best / when all is reckoned in" (358). Do you think that these two ideas are contradictory? Why or why not?

Agree or disagree: Antigone represents the tragic collision of right against right, with both sides equally justified.  In trying to bury her brother, is she "doing the right thing for the wrong reason" (53) as T. S. Eliot claimed?
