Answer 1

The excerpts from "The Royal House of Thebes" and "The Story of a Warrior Queen"  are similar because both express the theme that women are as capable as men.

Furthermore, they are both tragic heroines. In "The Royal House of Thebes", Antigone sacrifices her own life by disobeying Creon and burying Polyneices, her brother. Moreover, in "The Story of a Warrior Queen", Boadicea, the great queen, decides to poison herself before being attacked by her biggest enemies: the Romans.
