Thank you and see you on Saturday!

Homework List for November 8th

1.  Finish Reading Antigone the play.

2.  Add to your answer for the question you chose to respond to in class.  You must add at least 500 words to your response.  Your response to the question must be printed and brought with you to class on Saturday.  Please make sure to have 2 printed copies of this response!  The questions I posed in class are:

a.  What is the function of the Chorus in the play?  How is the Chorus developed and what is their purpose in the overall function of the play? 

2.  b.  In literature, the word agency means, “the freedom and capacity to live or act in a defined world.”  And so, when you look at the character of Antigone, to what extent does she have agency in the play?  In what ways have you seen her act on her own ability to live and survive in this particular world?

c.  Antigone is betrothed to Haemon (Creon’s son).  What have you learned about Haemon thus far?  How has the Chorus introduced him in the play?  What do you predict his role will be in the play?
