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.

Which one of these statements would be considered inappropriate in formal writing?
lana66690 [7]
I believe that B. would be inappropriate in formal writing because its just kind of rude to say. I would re-word it as: "He dislikes being late" or something like that because "hate" is just a cruel and informal word to use.
Hope this helps!!! (:

Why is it wrong to plagiarize even if no one will find out?
dsp73
For one, it's best to remain honest even when no ones looking.  Secondly, i'm sure the author of what ever it is would like to receive credit for the work they've done.  It's just morally & ethically wrong to accept credit for something that's not original work.
