Antigone Quote and Question Part 2:


"I say all prophets seek their own advantage" (154)


Does King Creon's stubbornness affect the outcome of the later events? Had he not questioned the prophet, would his son and wife have lived?

A Quote From Antigone

"You shall not die with me. You shall not claim that which you would not touch. One death is enough." (141)






Although it makes sense that Antigone would not accept Ismene's assistance, why is it, do you think, that she would not accept the help purely for the support for her brother?
