Hi. Even though you submitted a text, you did not submit any questions about it. This makes it impossible for me to give you an answer. However, I will try to help you by telling you what this text means.

This text is an excerpt from the play "Antigone" and is spoken by Antigone herself, as she explains to Creon why she decided to disobey his orders and bury her brother.

Antigone's brother died a traitor and Creon, the king, forbade anyone to bury him. Anyone who disobeyed him would be sentenced to death. Antigone disobeyed and when she was taken to Creon she told him the words shown in the text above. In these words Antigone claims that she would not defy the king's order for a son or for a husband, because she could have another husband and other children, but she cannot have another brother and so she disobeyed the king. In this moment, Antigone shows how family relationships are important to her.

What does the stage direction reveal about guenevere?
Gala2k [10]
The correct answer is A) They suggest Guenevere's aloof attitude. 
King Arthur's Socks: A Comedy in one-act, is a play written by Floyd Dell in 1916. Guenevere's aloof attitude is shown through her actions and the stage directions, such as: 'she retreats behind the chair', 'mildly', 'she darns placidly away', 'holding him at arm's lenght'. All these actions give the reader a sense of distance.

What is the Conflict revealed in the underline passage from Paragraph 9 of The Lady Or the Tiger
alisha [4.7K]
Answer: - The central conflict in the story is an internal conflict within the princess as she struggles between watching her lover in the arms of another or watching her lover get devoured by a tiger. In ancient times, a king uses poetic justice to decide if a person on trial is innocent or guilty. IN OTHER WORDS, are man versus man, man versus society, and man versus self. While the king serves as the story's antagonist and the forbidden relationship between the princess and the youth serves as an example of man versus society, the story's most vital conflict is internalized, existing within the mind of the princess herself. If this answer useful kindly mark it as a Brilliant. Best wishes
