Fate versus free will is a dominant theme of Sophocles’s Antigone. Although Antigone makes a conscious choice to risk her life b

y burying her brother, Sophocles hints that her life is the result of a predetermined destiny shaped by her family’s past. Which line in this excerpt from Antigone reflects Antigone’s helplessness with regard to her fate and her family’s past?
ANTIGONE:
Alack, alack! Ye mock me. Is it meet
Thus to insult me living, to my face?
Cease, by our country's altars I entreat,
Ye lordly rulers of a lordly race.
O fount of Dirce, wood-embowered plain
Where Theban chariots to victory speed,
Mark ye the cruel laws that now have wrought my bane,
The friends who show no pity in my need!
O monstrous doom,
Within a rock-built prison sepulchered,
To fade and wither in a living tomb,
And alien midst the living and the dead.

CHORUS:
In thy boldness over-rash
Madly thou thy foot didst dash
'Gainst high Justice' altar stair.
Thou a father's guild dost bear.

Why doesn't Romeo receive Friar Laurence's message?
Ivan

Romeo doesn’t receive Friar Laurence’s message because there is a plague outbreak and Friar John was quarantined.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

While Friar John was on the way, he decided to visit a house which had some sick people when he was on the way to give the letter to Romeo. He was quarantined on ground of suspicion that even he might be affected with the plague and the letter could be the main reason why the plague is spreading.

After he was released he returned the letter to Friar Laurence stating that he was not able to give the letter. Friar Lawrence is totally mood off and realizes that Romeo if not knowing Juliet's unjust death, no one can recover her from the grave when she wakes up.
