What did ismene hope to accomplish?

History

xz_007 [3.2K]2 years ago
8 0

The Greeks believed in fate and divine force.Ismene wants to obey Creon's orders and tries to talk Antigone out of it.Antigone wants to give her brother a proper burial, she believes family is greater than law.

Ismene is Antigone Lite. She first puts in an appearance along with her sister at the end of Oedipus the King,  and both girls seem to be symbolic of the legacy of shame left by Oedipus's mistakes. In Oedipus at Colonus, Ismene shows great loyalty to her father when she alerts him to the situation with Creon. She shows devotion once more when she returns with Antigone to Thebes. In Antigone, however, we see that Ismene's loyalty only extends so far. Though she agrees morally with Antigone’s decision to bury Polyneices, she is afraid to risk her own life.

Like her sister, Ismene seems to value family ties and the laws of the gods over the laws of man. However, she's just not gutsy enough to stand up for her beliefs. The courage to stand beside her sister does eventually come to Ismene. When Creon arrests both daughters of Oedipus, Ismene asks that she be executed alongside Antigone. Antigone, however, scorns Ismene's belated attempt at righteousness.At the urging of the Chorus, Creon eventually relents on executing Ismene. The girl ends the play with her life intact, but her self-worth in shreds.

How did the Cold War influence former colonies as they gained their independence?
Savatey [412]

Answer:

The Cold War and decolonization were also linked by the actions of the two superpowers. The US proclaimed that it supported democracy and free markets. The Soviet Union promised to liberate workers from the shackles of capitalist, imperial rule.

Explanation:

After World War II, European countries lacked the wealth and political support necessary to suppress far-away revolts. They could not oppose the new superpowers the U.S. and the Soviet Union's stands against colonialism. Strong independence movements in colonies. The European powers were determined to preserve colonial rule, and a long source of profit and national pride led to decolonization after World War II. The Cold War influence the process because the United States and the Soviet Union struggled to exert influence in the former colonies, and economic growth. Cold War helped facilitate European decolonization and affected some specific processes of decolonization. United States Marshall Plan helped western European states with post-WWII economic reconstruction, thereby relieving them of the need to hold on to their colonies. One of the most important effects of decolonization is the instability of the post-colonial political systems, which entails another, far-reaching consequences. These include deep economic problems, inhibiting growth and widening disparities between the northern and southern part of the globe.
