Make sure to complete the discussion questions for tomorrow.
  1. How does Creon try to secure his position as King in his first speech to the people?
  2. What details about Antigone’s interaction with the king present her as hostile or an enemy of the state as well?  Do you agree with her positioning? Why or why not?
  3. Why do you think Ismene changes her positioning from when the two sisters first spoke outside the gates of Thebes?  Why, in front of the king, does she show allegiance to her sister?
  4. Why does Antigone choose to commit suicide? Does it suggest her mother's death, or is there an important difference?
  5. Creon's wife is only on stage momentarily, yet she plays a key role in Creon's disaster. What does her suicide mean to him?
  6. Is Creon a tragic figure? Do you feel sympathy for him at the end as someone who initially tried to do good yet was overwhelmed by circumstance, or do you believe that he is a bullying, misogynistic control-freak who gets what he deserves? Try to come up with arguments for both sides. Could the play have been called Creon, instead?

For the Week of September 3rd through the 6th.
This week we are exploring memory poems and working on the poetic devices that writers use to elevate the writing to create their art.  You will write your own memory poems (yes, there will be more than one version) AND we will look to the famed poets and their memories for inspiration.  We will also be exploring the challenges of structured (the sonnet, villanelle, haiku) and unstructured poetry (blackout, found).  Don't forget about those WOW either (vocabulary building never stops.  We are here to improve your conversations at parties. ) Woohoo!
