  1. ANTIGONE NOTES 2.9

  2. 1. Revising your ideas 2.9 • Given your experience at the gallery yesterday, consider the new information you learned. How can you take the information you presented in your project and turn it into a thesis statement? • Try to craft three theses (they may all express the same thing or they may express a different “slant” or “edge” to get you thinking about one definitive idea). • (5 minutes…to be cotinued tomorrow) • In other words, this is the part of your project which transitions from an exploration, to an argument 

  3. Take out Antigone and a piece of paper to take notes on

  4. 2. PROLOGUE • Review • What do prologues do? • Given what you know about what’s going on in Thebes, what do you think the conflict is going to be?

  5. 3. PROLOGUE 1. What conflicts occur in the prologue? 2. What do the different sides of each conflict represent? (i.e. human vs. human ---logic vs. emotion)

  6. 4. Discussion Questions 1. What qualities does Antigone show here? Point to words to back up your opinion? 2. What emotions do Antigone’s words elicit out of the reader? Pity? Frustration? 3. Why would Antigone want to bury Polynieces? 4. Why would Ismene refuse to help? 5. Why would Creon want to keep Polynieces unearthed?

  7. 5. Parados • What is the purpose of the parados? • What actually happened at the battle? • And THEREFORE what themes do you think are going to be explored?
