In contrast, Creon is left shattered and ironically without family, having lost command of events after being so determined to remain in control. I suppose Perhaps Antigone was kind of over-reactedreacts. Before Antigone chooses to die, I highly appreciate her courage and responsibility, yet. But when I know she is going to kill herself, I begin to wander wonder about her inner thoughts. Maybe what Antigone cherished cherishes most was is her position of loving justice rathermore than her own brother.
He also puts her under the intense scrutiny. While under this confinement, she begins to go mad. She believes the wallpaper is monitoring her, and she eventually sees herself as a prisoner inside it. Her fear towards her oppressive husband is clearly demonstrated when she says, “There comes John, and I must put this away- he hates to have me write a word” (Gillman
Macbeth had a great deal of trouble putting his trust into people other than his wife after the success of this murder. She is the one person that Macbeth wanted to protect by all means and even stated “unsafe the while that we/Must lave our honors in these flattering streams/And make our faces vizards to our hearts/Disguising what they are” (III.ii.33-37). Essentially this was his way of letting his wife have an understanding of the events that were to soon take place without causing her to think too much of it. A somewhat deceptive way of putting it indeed, but it would keep others from having suspicious thoughts about the Macbeths. This is a prime depiction of how Macbeth is already uneasy in life and that he will turn to crime to solve a minor problem.
Her inability to bear a child also made Mary more desperate, as without a child she could not ensure the future of England as a Catholic country and she could not make her husband love her. All these factors ensured that Mary was cruel to those who questioned her beliefs. Philip’s decision to marry Mary was clearly led by his own desire to control England and his own determination to see England entirely
Ismene wants to keep this between her and Antigone only as to not risk Antigone’s life. Ismene is tied between family and state, whereas Antigone is completely for family before state. Antigone becomes furious when Ismene thinks that they should keep it between themselves, Antigone wants her to scream it from the rooftops who had buried Polynices. This shows that Antigone is more confident with her decision and is clearly the braver one of the two sisters. While playing Antigone I tried to give her a little more attitude than Ismene.
He passed a law that restrained anyone from burying his own nephew’s body. Creon tried to prove that by ignoring family relations he gave more importance to law and order in Thebes. He believed his law was more powerful than the laws of the gods. He believed that anyone who disobeyed his law will be punished no matter who you are; this was the biggest mistake which lead him to lose his son and his nephew. Second, Creon abused his power by thinking that he can change or break the laws of the Gods and not allowing other people to break his laws.
This inherent trait leaves Pete blinded to anything other than money, success and high expectations. It doesn’t allow him to see the good in not only others but also in himself. Pete was also jealous of the way their mother coddled Donald and lied when Donald asked him what he dreamt about. He claimed he only dreamt about sex and money, when in reality he dreams of Donald often, usually with Pete being vulnerable while Donald acts as his aid. This is because he feels guilty for the violent acts he committed against Donald when they were younger.
Antagonist- The antagonists in this book are many different things. Not only are there people in Angelou's story that hinder her, but there are also feelings and human traits which pose as obstacles in her book. Just as her mother's boyfriend would be an antagonist (because he raped her) so would the prejudice she, as a black woman, faces. More things like discrimination, jealousy, and greed stop her from growing up and changing than actual people. I think that many things assume the position of antagonist, but mainly it is prejudice and her place in life (being poor, and her time) which presents the biggest challenge.
This emotional turmoil is portrayed as powerful “blows in (her) face and (her) body” showing how painful that these deaths were for her and how influential they were in the loss of Belle Reve. The readers could attribute these deaths as the cause for Blanche’s seemingly fragile nature because family grievances can very difficult to cope with and more than one in such a short space of time may mean that it takes a long time to find a coping mechanism. Furthermore, the deaths could offer an explanation as to why Blanche won’t stand in the light and prefers a different light. Funerals and deaths are stereotypically associated with darkness and the colour black and so it could suggest that when Blanche evades
