The right answer is ruthless, and this character trait is featured in Creon, the King of Thebes in this tragedy by Sophocles. Creon has become the new ruler, after the brothers and heirs to the throne, Eteocles and Polyneices, killed each other in battle. He orders to bury and honor the former, and to punish the latter by leaving his body unburied in the battlefield. Their sister, the merciful Antigone, wants to honor and bury his rebellious brother's body, even if that entails disobeying Creon's edict, and she proceeds to do so. She is discovered and Creon punishes her by burying her alive in a sepulchre. Creon eventually decides to bury Polyneices and to release Antigone, but when he arrives at the sepulchre he finds out that she has already taken her own life. While Antigone puts her family before her own life, Creon respects and obey the will of the gods whatever the cost.

C. The narrator is not reliable. He's not telling the truth, because he is obviously affected by the cat. A reliable narrator tells the truth with a neutral stand point. Obviously, he isn't neutral. Everything he says is is the truth is based off the emotion he is feeling, which changes.

For this, I'll just say you chose "word watcher". I think I read maybe the first few chapters in this book last year. This book was actually quite confusing to me. I guess it was just the names that threw me off. Here is a sample off what you can say:

There are many details from this story that are worthy to share in a literary discussion. For this story, I chose word watcher as my character role. Using my role, I would discuss the different names and their meanings for a literary discussion. In the story, the author used different names. For example, the main character's name was "moon shadow lee". My reading role greatly helped me better understand the story. Rather than skimming through the book, I was able to slow down and recognize the different words and names the author uses. For example, the main characters father, "wind rider" was a kit maker. "wind rider" was a good name for him, because it really described, what he does and aspires to do. <span />
