SOME QUESTIONS TO HELP GUIDE THE PAPER
First read Antigone on your own. (If you read or saw the play before you started this course, try to wash the experience from your brain and read it with a tabula rasa—a blank slate– in your head.) Wht do you think thisplay is about?
Antigone is a woman, Creon is a man. Is this important to the central issue in the play? What does it tell you about the way ancient Greeks viewedgender?
Can we still see signs of the tension between a private world (friends and family) and a larger public world (community, nation, global concerns) in our own time? Do you know people who explicitly prefer one or the other?
The “trick” to writing this paper is to see it as an
Agon between individuals who represent contending principles of loyalty and identity.
