Greetings!
My apologies for not being there with you today but I'm under the weather, which seems like it will be rather warm.
Over the weekend you read the final section of Antigone. Up to this point we've considered what happens when conflicting values / perspectives are present, as well as character motivation and reasoning. Today you'll read a short excerpt from a literary critic. She raises several powerful questions about the play and I'm hopeful you'll find it spurs your thinking. You can read her essay by clicking on this link: Patricia Lines - "Antigone's Flaw"
When you are done you might find a journal response would be a good way for you to process her essay.
If not, you can browse through this series of questions about the play in preparation for our final discussion about it, as well as your upcoming essay.
Please come in to class tomorrow with a potential focus for your essay. Remember you can write either a single-text analytic essay, a personal / hybrid essay, or a creative project. I'll give you full details about the different options when I (hopefully) see you on Tuesday.
