Study Guide for Antigone

Study Guide for Sophocles' Antigone

1-116

As you read the first scene, consider the gravity of the city's condition and how aware Antigone seems of it. Throughout the play Antigone and Creon will speak much of friends and enemies. Think about wht each means by these terms. In general, Antigone and Creon tend to use the same words but mean different things by them. For example, consider Antigone's reference to becoming a "traitor" (57). This is a political term;does Antigone mean a traitor tothe city, or to something else? Compare with creon at line 580. Why does Antigone assume that Creon's order is directed against her an Ismene? When Creon appears later, consider whether his conduct and language in fact supports her assumption. Do you sympathize at all with Ismene's caution? Does Antigone treat her fairly? Why is Antigone so concerned with glory? (113) Should she be? How old do you think Antigone is?

117-78

After the initial dialogue the Chorus emerges for their first choral ode(stasimon), which concerns the previous night's battle. Contrast the picture of Polynices drawn there with Antigone's earlier discussion of her brother; does your opinion of him, and of Antigone's position change at all? The chorus evokes Dionysus(171), the first of several times this god is mentioned. Why should the chorus call upon Dionysus? Look up Dionysus.
