Nautical :ship:
Stasimons
Stasimon I
that great wonder crossing the heaving gray sea,
driven on by the blasts of winter
on through breakers crashing left and right, holds his steady course
Symbol of man's daring and resourcefulness
Antigone and Ismene
Opening
Ismene: What's the matter? Trouble, clearly ...
you sound so
dark
, so
grim
.
Antigone: Fear not for me.
Steer straight
your own fate. (97)
Antigone, Ismene & Creon
Ismene:
But now you face such dangers . . . I'm not ashamed
to
sail
through trouble with you,
Animalistic :cow:
Creon
Antigone, Ismene & Creon
Antigone:
They see it just that way
but defer to you and keep their tongues in
leash
(569)
Creon:
And I've known spirited horses you can break
with a light bit—proud, rebellious horses
There's no room for pride, not in a slave
not with the lord and master standing by
Creon's Speech
callous, malicious evil, vampire-like
thirsted
to
drink
his kinsmen's blood and sell the rest to
slavery
One of the strongest instances of antipathy for
enslavers
Creon & Hamon
Don't flatter me with Father — you woman's slave!
has strong ties to slave imagery and driving imagery
Irony
Dialogue
Hedging language
Equivocal standing of Chorus
Foreshadowing
Creon ironically
