antigone

This poem is quite successful in getting the plot across to the reader. Unfortunatly, that is all he can get across because of his beleif that, "inside every fat book is a skinny book trying to get out." Sargoff cannot have character descriptions, themes, or any real detail in his "skinny book" because of his beleifs. Sargoff leaves off why Polynices should not be burried and why his brother, who is not even menchoned, can be burried. This is important to building the feelings of contempt towards Creon and an understanding of what Antigone is doing. Also, because this is a "Humorous Distillation," the tone of the play is lost. Instead of being a dramatic play about obeying a higher law, it is a comical, rhyming poem about what happened. This

Things that happened before the play

or outside of the place, was told by a messenger or a character themself.

Aristotelian Unities

Yes, Antigone does follow the Aristotelian Unities. Tragedy is a story or play that has a signifigant conflict of morals, with a noble protagonist displaying a tragic flaw that is their strength but leads to their downfall. Her actions were the sole

cause of everything that happened. Sargoff reduces important and pivotal points in the story to a sentence such as, "Creon wilts, and tries to bang a U-ee. may cause it to lose the impact it had. The

action was all centered around Antigone's actions. The exposition of the story is when Antigone is talking with her sister and we learn of what has happened. Creon's recognition is when he finaly sees what has been happening and that Antigone is innocent and that Polynices should be buried. Antigone is the tool through which Sophocles tells th!at one !

should obey the law of the gods and human laws. Antigone herself is the tragic hero because she dies for what she believes morally right. The denouement of this story is everybody dying and then Creon realizing what he has caused. The turning point of this play is when Creon tries to mend his wrongs by burying Polynices and freeing Antigone. The thought of this play is wether it is right to follow heavenly laws or ones made by man. Antigone's tragic flaw is that she has only sees her point of view which leads to her death.
