Read the excerpt from the text of Antigone. Then, in one well-developed paragraph, make inferences about what kind of man Creon

is. Explain how his words reveal his character. Use evidence from the excerpt to support your answer.
Then, in a second well-developed paragraph, state the theme of the play and explain how Creon—and his words in this excerpt—help develop the theme of the play. Use evidence from the excerpt to support your answer.

Tereisias: Think: all men make mistakes,
But a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong,
And repairs the evil. The only crime is pride.

Give in to the dead man, then: do not fight with a corpse—
What glory is it to kill a man who is dead?
Think, I beg you:
It is for your own good that I speak as I do.
You should be able to yield for your own good.

Creon: It seems that prophets have made me their
especial province.
All my life long
I have been a kind of butt for the dull arrows
Of doddering fortune tellers!
No, Teiresias:
If your birds—if the great eagles of God himself
Should carry him stinking bit by bit to heaven,
I would not yield. I am not afraid of pollution:
No man can defile the gods.
Do what you will,
Go into business, make money, speculate
In India gold or that synthetic gold from Sardis,
Get rich otherwise than by my consent to bury him.
Teiresias, it is a sorry thing when a wise man
Sells his wisdom, lets out his words for hire!

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The United States can demonstrate its superiority to the Soviet Union by sending a man to the moon.

Explanation:

The "Apollo program" of the U.S. was<em> a response to the early successes of the Soviet Union,</em> especially when it comes to "outer space." Even before, a Cold War was already happening between the United States and the Soviet Union.

Thus, President Kennedy made a statement regarding the capability of the nation to achieve the goal. He wanted the nation to focus on the moon race and to add more budget to make it happen. In the end, they were indeed victorious.

So, this explains the answer.
