Answer:

I believe it's the last one.

Explanation:

One needs to look now farther than the first paragraph to realize that Vonnegut's tale is laced with irony and satire. The strongest hint is when he mentions that there are over 100 ammendments in the Constitution. All these ammendments are designed to make society "perfect." Later on George and his wife Hazel are discussing how George's handicaps, the bags of birdshot tied to his legs, are terribly inconvenient and painful. Hazel suggests George break a law and remove the bags since he isn't competing against anyone at home. George replies that if he broke the law so would others and they'd end up right back in the "Dark Ages". These examples depict there is no such thing as a perfect society. Equality does not bring about perfection and competition is essential for a thriving economy. In every society there are winners and losers.

Sorry if i'm wrong.

Why is crown the antagonist in he play Antigone?

erastova [34]

The answer you are searching for is:

Creon is Antigone's uncle in the play Antigone and is ultimately responsible for her death. Antigone is the daughter of Oedipus, whose sin of accidentally having sex with his mother is arguable responsible for the curse that appears to plague his descendants. Creon is Oedipus's brother, and is currently the king of Thebes; he is committed to maintaining the peace in his kingdom. Just prior to Creon's rule, Antigone's brothers, Eteocles and Polynices, had engaged in a bloody battle for control of Thebes. When both brothers died and Creon assumed power, Creon decreed that only Eteocles would receive a burial; Polynices would be left to rot.

Antigone disobeyed her uncle and insisted upon burying Polynices anyway. Creon did everything he could to dissuade her, but ultimately could not convince her to give up her quest to bury her brother. The central point of the play is that Antigone believes in doing what she knows to be right, whereas Creon believes in doing what is necessary to maintain the peace in Thebes. Because Creon is committed to this goal, Antigone ultimately dies, making Creon ultimately the villain of the play.

Hope this helps!!
