Answer:

                                                    ANTIGONE

Antigone is the daughter of Oedipus who is as stubborn and decisive as her father. She in fact planned to defy Creon's directives and bury Polynices. The similarity with her father seemingly ended there as unlike her father she has the remarkable ability to recall events that happened in the past. Oedipus forgot all the good things the priest Tiresias did for him and went ahead to defy him, he also seemingly forgot about his encounter with Laius at the three-way crossroads. Antigone, on the other hand, recalls the things her father's actions have cost her family and the grief he has brought to them thus far.

Because Antigone is aware of the fate that her family is destined to, she is fearless about what Creon would do to her, even until the point of death because she feels she has nothing to lose. She appears to be in love with her brother Polynices (now dead) which seems to further the plot about the family being an incestuous one.

Antigone shows her great need for connection to her family throughout the book as she defies Creon to bury Polynices which could have cost her her life.

How is Lady Macbeth strength shown in act1,scene5?
tino4ka555 [31]

In act 1 scene 5, Shakespeare presents Lady Macbeth as a powerful woman who feels trapped within society`s view of a female. In Shakespearian times, there were associated male and female traits with male traits associated with strength, aggression, and rationality. Female traits, on the other hand, were associated with beauty, tender thoughts, and sensitivity. Being a female herself, Lady Macbeth commands the ‘sprits’ to ‘unsex [her] here,’ so she can rid herself of her female traits so she can be more male and thus powerful enough to commit evil.

Why is act 3 scene 1 so important in William Shakespeare’s Hamlet ?
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Hamlet suggests that beauty can transform honesty into a “bawd,” but honesty cannot make a sinful woman pure once more. “I did love you once,” Hamlet tells Ophelia, and she retorts that Hamlet only made her believe that he did.
