Antigone Compare and Contrast

Phanna Monigan

10/03/13

Block 2

            In Antigone, by Sophocel, is a tragic play. The main characters are Antigone, a reckless teen-ager, and Creon, a new king of a kingdom. Antigone and Creon’s conflict was that they were so similar in character, but had many differences.

Antigone and Creon have many differences and loyalties. Antigone is very loyal to her family and the gods. When Creon ruled that no one was to bury Polyneices and when Ismene would not help bury him, Antigone still went and buried Polynieces. She even states, “Perhaps. But I am doing what I must” (prologue 1, 80). She thinks she has to bury, Polynieces, her brother, that, this is what has to be done. She, Antigone, is very loyal to te gods too. In scene two, when she is arguing with Creon, she basically says, the god’s law is final, you can’t change them, and they will always be there. That t man’s law only last a short time compared to the gods’. Unlike Antigone, Creon on the other hand is loyal to his kingdom. When he is giving his address to the people when he became the king he said, “ I have nothing but contempt for the king of Governor who is afrid, for whatever reason, to follow the course that he knows is best for his state, and for the man who sets private friendships above the public welfare. I have no use for him” (scene 1, 23-27). He is saying, he hates a person who only cares for himself, he doesn’t want a man who cares only for his private friend above his kingdom. This reflects the person Creon doesn’t want his people to think he is. Creon doesn’t care for his family all to much, though. In scene one when the Sentry came to Creon, saying someone had buried Polynieces, Creon became angry and blamed anyone that came to his mind, that people where bribed to bury Polynieces, and that he was going to kill the Sentry. As you can see Antigone and Creon care for different things, and they both think they are right.

            Even though Antigone and Creon have many differences they do have a similarity, they both are very prideful. They think everything they do is right, until it was too late. To show Antigone was prideful is when she said, “I do, I deny nothing” (scene two, 59). This is when she was asked if she had buried Polyneices, she responded with that quote. It shows that she is arrogant and proud of what she did. Also, in scene two when she is arguing with Creon, she has so much pride that she said the people aren’t backing her up, is because, they are scared of him, to a kings face. Creon like Antigone is prideful too. In his argument with Antigone he said, “You are alone here in that opinion” (scene two, 127). He says this after Antigone says everyone is afraid of him. Creon thinks he is right, but he is wrong. Everyone is afraid of him. In scene one when the Sentry had came to him, saying someone had buried Polynieces, Creon thought a man had done it, he wanted the man found, but we all knew it was Antigone. This shows that he is arrogant to the fact that a girl would defy him; he thought women were too weak, and this also showed his pride. Antigone and Creon’s pride both got them in trouble, their punishment for both, was deaths.

Even though they both thought everything they did was right, they both deserve some of the blame they got from their punishments. Antigone, she didn’t have to be so arrogant to the fact that her Uncle Creon was just trying to do his job. Creon, Even though Polyneices was a traitor, still deserved his year at the throne. Polyneices was to be a king, and should be buried like one. Creon should of respected that way sooner.

The Monkey's Paw

My Autobiography

Hey, I’m Phanna. Also, P-W Onna to my fellow dancers. My life before high school was great, I payed attention and enjoyed my life. I loved to go out and play outside with my siblings, but now I just spend most of my time inside doing homework and stuff like that. Before high school I didn’t give two cents about what happened to me,just as long as I’m having fun. I learned though I couldn’t be a child all my life and had to grow up.

I’m not trying to tell anyone a sob story, but this story is a big part of my life and I probably wouldn’t be if here if this didn’t happen in my life. I’m going to cut it short though. When I was about nine years old my father use to beat me, and my siblings. I got it the most because I didn’t know how to keep my opinions to myself. My father also beat my mother during the time period they were married, after a while she got tired of this and left us. I felt so lost without her. All that time my father would beat us everyday and lock us in our room. Maybe half a year later, my mother finally was able to get a court date to try to get us back, lucky us she won and that day we left the court with our mother. We could have been beaten everyday still, if my siblings and myself were still with him. Even though just saying that, I still love my father with all my heart, I do forgive him for what he did to my family.

My summer was great this year. I spent the whole time in Bakersfield with my lovely cousin, Annalynn. She took me everywhere with her like a dog. That’s also where I met my beautiful boyfriend, Glenn Rebel Colbert. I met him a the Valley Plaza Mall in Bakersfield. It’s long distance, but we are making it work.

In my future I see myself at a trade school, learning how to me a internal doctor. Even though I can’t stand the site of blood, right now a this point of my life. Then a lot more school, sixteen years of school, maybe even more, but that is all I’ve searches on the topic and it says around sixteen years. My job choice pays good money too, so I won’t be having money problems, wink wink.

Well, thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoyed.

Fustrations

Things that frustrate me I try not to be around. But sometimes you just can't stay away from, like your family. Also, the internet, boyfriends, girlfriend, and just plain school. This may sound like me complaining and it probably is, but  I'm going to try to explain things as best as I can without the annoying sound of complaining.

Family, you can't pick who they are, or their personalities. I know that for a fact. My sister and I have been fighting for, like two years now. I don't like fighting her, I love her and all. Sometimes she gets on my nerves though, and yes we do get into fist fights. Until recently, she finally started to fight me back, I'm kind of proud of her. She use to just let me punch her, and go cry to my mom. That just mad me madder and I wouldn't talk to her for like a week. When she needed money, the brat can get it from someone else. Yeah, I guess my sister is the only one that frustrates me in my family, but I love her, I may never tell her, but it's the thought that counts, right?

The internet is a bunch of nonsense in my generation. It's not used how it use to be. I do have an email and I use it quite often, but when I log on to Facebook and I see a fight written right on my news feed, I'm like, don't you guys have a life. Go outside and play or something, get some fresh air, breath and let it all out. Also how people are bullied on the internet is horrible, people killing themselves, suicide, because people tell them things just isn't right. Online bullies just need to go. I'm not saying I haven't said something rude to someone but, I usually try to say sorry about it in the next week or so. I don't want to get rid of our social media, but some thing has to go, so that we have better reasons to die.

I'm going to put boyfriends and girl friends in the same category. Well, I am in a long distant relationship as you may or may not know. It's been a month and a half now and we barley talk. It stress that I don't need, and honestly I don't think anyone wanys to worry about what there boyfriend or girlfriend are doing while you are away. This one is short its small because it doesn't bother me to much, I just wanted to get it off my chest.

Now the topic of school. I have four classes and I do a lot in all of them, just like most of you. It seems though that the teachers obviously don't know that you have more classes then just theirs. I do homework for each one and it takes me an hour and half to do each one. Even more for English, and that is probably why I hardly do it. The teachers may say they are getting you ready for college and I respect that, but are we in college? No, I don't think so. Anyway, I love school other then the fact we have so much homework. I like my teachers they are cool and all, just please lay off. Just kidding keep it as it is. I get done before seven, so I'm good.

Thanks for reading, if you got this far. If I bored you with some of my frustrations, you are probably one of them, I'll think of how much you frustrated me, when I care enough to care.
