Welcome back! I hope you had a fun and restful Labor Day weekend!
Today we will start our work with Antigone. Please be sure to check and understand the calendar for the next two weeks, since the essay you write for this play will be your first major assignment of the year.
In class you worked with a partner to read the opening dialogue between Antigone and Ismene. In your notebook you made a simple chart to keep track of the characteristics of these two women, as well as the different values present in their conversation. By "values," I mean the factors that might influence their decision-making. We will discuss both what those values are and the ways in which characters create a hierarchy of them, and why.
Tonight you are reading through line 514 and adding Creon to the chart we made in class.
