Once you named these topics, I asked you to think about them as themes - once we identify a theme, and we use that to look back at the examples, what conclusions can we make?
We further illustrated this with a look back at Antigone. We noted how in that play there were three characters who committed suicide. But once we've identified that topic, how does it turn into a theme? What is the play saying about suicide? Here are some of your answers:
- The suicides of Antigone, Haemon, and Eurydice were punishments for Creon's power-hungry actions and attitude
- Those who do not follow / listen to the gods will be punished
- Some characters do not know how to deal with challenges and see suicide as a way out
We finished the class with this in-class writing: Hamlet Act III writing
