It was analysis of play Antigone
and general literature. We were discussing about characters in Antigone,
concept of a tragic hero in literature and Theme in a literature and their
types.
We were analyzing the theme in the
play and types of theme in the play. I was able to analyze and differentiate
implicit and explicit themes in literature. I also wrote down an example of
each theme in Antigone. The conversation between two sisters was explicit and
gender inequality visible within the conversation was implicit theme. I also
understood the concept of a tragic hero in a literature.
What makes a character a tragic
hero?
1: Make serious error
2: Endowed within tragic flaw
3: Face tragic death
4: Affected by pity and fate
5: Accept death with honor
6: Response for own fate
7: Doomed to make serious error
Common characteristics of a tragic hero:
1: His actions result in increasing
self-awareness and self-knowledge.
2: Audience feel pity and fear for
the character.
Note: A modern day tragic hero
might not die. Example: Wolf of Wall Street.
This lecture helped me analyze the
characters Antigone and Creon. This character analysis and tragic hero was also
use full in published writing 1 and paper 1
