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.

Answer:If the story were told from John's perspective, it would be a much more detached view of the narrator's descent into madness. Although the readers do not know what John thinks, it is clear that he believes that the medical treatment is correct. Not only would his perspective add another dimension to the woman's madness, but it would make him a more sympathetic character and perhaps even make their love story more tragic.

Who does Gilman ultimately blame for the narrator's descent into madness? Why?

In some ways, Gilman can seem to blame both John and S. Weir Mitchell for the narrator's ultimate insanity. Although they both mean well, their decision to promote the "rest cure" treatment is certainly the catalyst for the narrator's mental break. However, at the same time, Gilman could blame the society of the time, a society that expected women to be perfect wives and mothers and nothing else.

What is the significance of the first-person perspective of the narrative?

The first-person perspective of the narrative is very important because it allows the reader to understand and experience the narrator's descent into madness on a personal level. Instead of discovering the narrator's insanity from the detached perspective of a third-person narrator, the reader is present in the narrator's head at every stage of her insanity. As a result, the story is much more powerful and ultimately more disconcerting.
