Explain any obstacles Sophocles faced, such as character flaws, conflicts with other people or with society, prejudice, mental or physical illness, etc.

Sophocles is an ancient Greek dramatist who wrote over 120 plays (although only seven survive). He is the author of famous works such as Antigone and Oedipus Rex.

Sophocles enjoyed great popularity among his contemporaries, and continues to be extremely relevant in the present. He lived a relatively happy and long life. However, Sophocles also experienced some difficulties throughout his life. At the beginning of his career, Sophocles had to compete with the most famous and established dramatist of his time, Aeschylus. Moreover, towards the end of his life, Sophocles' sons tried to declare him incompetent, most likely for personal gain.

explanation:

well stockyards mean a large yard containing pens and sheds, typically adjacent to a slaughterhouse, in which livestock is kept and sorted. and i'm assuming that by party you   mean a large group of people which does make sense because chicago is a very crowded place much like new york. stockyards tend to take up a lot of room due to needing the area for pens to keep animals in and the fact that stockyards are usually right by slaughterhouse where they process and distribute the product. so its much like a zoo but with some dead animal products close by.
