Question

Select the correct answer. What element of Greek tragedy does Ismene articulate in the following lines from Antigone? 'Tis foolishness, I ween, To overstep in aught the golden mean. A. anagnorisis B. hubris C. peripeteia D. catastrophe

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B is correct

Explanation:

Hubris refers to excessive pride or self-confidence.

In the lines 'Tis foolishness, I ween, To overstep in aught the golden mean', the keyword is foolishness as Antigone, and some other characters acted foolishly.

Ismene articulates hubris in the lines. This element was the cause of the tragedy in Antigone.

Option B. is correct
