How was Creon able to change? Did death cause a new life for Creon? Are the deaths of others for nothing? Who is ultimately responsible for the events in Antigone? What did Sophocles think while writing Antigone? What is the point of tragedies? How does Antigone compare to other tragedies? Why are those parallels apparent? How does catharsis play a role? What does catharsis do? How has catharsis impacted views on literature? Did I do this right? Anyway, I hope you enjoyed?

Your questions flowed nicely from one different topic to the next. I can appreciate the literary terms and connections you made to Antigone. Great job on your blog.

“Who is ultimately responsible for the events in Antigone?”
I think that everyone is responsible for their own actions. Even though she broke the law, she did not force Creon to lock her up, and she did not directly force Haemon to commit suicide. I like how your questions slowly branched off into the idea of tragedy itself. Nice job!

I like how your blog flowed from question to question. I feel like catharsis is the most important element of tragedy. I think it is the beauty of impacting a person in that way that creates catharsis.
