Antigone - Motivation, Reasoning, and Judgment

Today we worked in small groups to look at these sections of the play:
- lines 102-216
- lines 217-326
- lines 327-514
- lines 515-570 (and look back at the opening dialogue)
- lines 612-763
- lines 782-938

Our topic for today is to look at the Motivations and Reasoning related to each character's thoughts and actions.

• what is stated explicitly?
• what can we infer - what are the implicit reasons / motivations?

Also we will consider the role of Judgment

• how do characters in the play, including the chorus, judge each other?
• how are we judging them?  why?

We'll work in small groups to explore these questions, then take time to craft individual journal responses (that will count as one of the required entries for this play).
