Analyzing the cause-and-effect relationships within a text can help us to better evaluate the author’s theme. In thinking about the theme of Antigone, consider the choices each character makes. Antigone buries Polyneices in spite of Creon’s edict. Creon enforces his law in spite of his relationship with his niece. What led them to these actions, and what effect did each of these actions have on the outcome of the drama? What message was Sophocles attempting to convey to the audience? These are the questions you need to consider as you work toward an evaluation of theme.

Compose a journal entry evaluating the theme of Antigone. Use the knowledge you have gained from exploring the cause/effect relationships in the play to help defend your evaluation. Include direct quotes from the text to support your arguments.

"where ha ye come fra? the swamp, that awfu' swamp. what were ye doin' there? " etc. "mony a puir body has been lost in that muckle, cauld, dreary bog and never been found." when i told her i had entered it in search of plants and had been in it all day, she wondered how plants could draw me to these awful places, and said, "it's god's mercy ye ever got out." examine the details muir includes in this paragraph. which statement accurately explains how muir's response to nature compares to the log house owner's response? he is enthusiastic and in awe while she is doubtful and fearful. muir cautiously admires whereas the lady shows religious dedication. the lady is more interested in the bog while muir is fascinated by plants. they both admire nature—its intense dangers and its true treasures.
