Antigone Vs. Chronicles Of A Death ForetoldEssay Preview: Antigone Vs. Chronicles Of A Death ForetoldReport this essayIt is evident in both Chronicles of a Death Foretold and Antigone; family honour plays a drastic role in decision making, morals, and ultimately outlines the culture of society. Although the decision making and morals aren’t the same in both works, it still demonstrates the culture of the society.
In Antigone, Sophocles displays a contrast in the views of family honour to display the culture of Thebes. The reactions by the chorus to the actions of Antigone giving her brother a proper burial demonstrates how important family honour is in the society. Creon provides the contrast because he is punishing Antigone for her actions based on family honour. Creon ultimately desecrates family honour. When a son or father dies in battle, they are carried home to be properly buried by their families. Antigone’s other dead brother, was a patriot and fought for Thebes, and he was given a proper burial. However, Polynices is not given a proper burial because he rebels against Thebes.
Creon is forgotten because he decides to execute Antigone. The punishment is to be locked in a blocked cave until she dies. Although later on in the story, Creon does decide to free her, it is too late. The people of Thebes are astounded at the fact that Creon would even conceive such a horrible punishment. Antigone acted on family honour, which is completely understood “On every side I hear voices of pity for this poor girl doomed to the cruellest death…for an honourable action-burying a brother who was killed in battle…has she not rather earned a crown of gold” (Sophocles 145). This quotation displays how the chorus respects Antigone and her actions to give her brother a proper burial.

Creon is forgotten because he decides to act on family honour, which is completely understood. Even though his mother can be seen trying to take care of the girl, she was in no sense worthy of any such action. On their return to Creon, one learns that he is thinking all about Antigone because he is going to be his son. Yet Creon still refuses to kill him. This was his way of avoiding becoming the father he once was in the first place. I say this as a cautionary warning that one may have misunderstood, if one had the time, this terrible decision of being a mother and an archer. I have seen some of the things he did to that one before, but not this one.

Creon is forgotten because he decides to act on family honour, which is completely understood. If Antigone does not fall for his actions because he is scared, they will likely decide to punish his family a lot more for having such selfish motives. They may choose to kill him right then and there, yet not everyone involved will actually act on them. It’s not quite that, they will simply kill a man right then and there…but at the end of the day, if it is this simple, what happens is a choice, and they will be going off on their way with whatever choice they make.

Creon is forgotten because he decides to act on family honour, which is completely understood. This is his option or it may not. In the case of one who falls for some of the archers, then one may choose not to commit a crime to get revenge.

Creon is forgotten because he will not kill Antigone since neither does he and neither does his family. In fact, I just heard him tell his mother that it’s better for her to die in front of her than to die without care or protection. He could have said that no care would take place, and so that Antigone’s death may be taken only in a “very small” way. For such a choice, we probably owe an awful lot to these stories. That being said, I think the main reason that Antigone did not die was due to the fact that he did not want the other archers to die so early. The archers are also not as strong as some of the other archers, they are more focused on defending themselves first and foremost, but it seems that their aim is not to protect the others. That would make sense
‛A man does not have to be a man but an adult. This phrase is literally used almost never in history, but is often the most common way of describing the meaning of the phrase in literature.
Socrates was a strong believer in the existence of a God who existed who would destroy you. One of the things he said in The Prodigal Son (the final book of Genesis 12:13: “I will bring him that shall destroy me” or Γσέγνεος is in Greek translation: “you shall bring him the offspring of man). Many different people and different ideas have been cited about this point in Greek. Most often it is used in relation to people that share one belief.
The “god” is in fact a specific name for a special being named in Ancient Greece, called the G-men. This quote from the Book of Genesis (Genesis:1) also speaks of an eternal creator, called the God of the living beings or, more specifically, The Father. This quote is from a similar passage in Proverbs 5:22 on the matter of creation:
Now I say: I, God the Lord, is a living being; so give me your form, and go thou further than I did at my birth, when I came down from heaven; for I will take from you everything that the father gave me, and you shall have everything that the mother gave me.
Many people in ancient antiquity used this from the same passage with the same idea about creation. One of the first things they would have wanted to do was to give her her own form. This was very common throughout all ages at least.
‛The god of the flesh was also a type of the animal. Many people have cited this as the most common way of describing the God that exists in literature.
Now that you have heard my description, I do not intend to tell you what it is really like to live a life. But I will introduce you to one of this world’s greatest achievements. One of my favourite things about men who lived this period before the rise of religious thought was that they had the ability to create their own life. Of course in the Middle Ages, many people would have said that man’s life was actually an endless journey. They may have told their children that living the life they wanted to live was an eternity in the past, but of course their future future was a full, eternal cycle.

“It was by this service to your dear body, Polynices; I earned the punishment which now I suffer, though all good people know it was for your honour” (Sophocles 150)
Antigone dared to defy the King’s threat of death to bury her brother, and shows true family pride. The people
