PLEASE I NEED HELP ASAPRead the following excerpt from Joseph Chamberlain's "The True Conception of Empire": You can not have omelettes without breaking eggs, you
can not destroy the practises of barbarism, of slavery, of
superstition, which for centuries have desolated the
interior of Africa, without the use of force; but if you will
fairly contrast the gain to humanity with the price which
we are bound to pay for it, I think you may well rejoice in
the result of such expeditions as those which haver
recently been conducted with such signal success in
Nyassaland, Ashanti, Benin, and Nupé - expeditions
which may have, and indeed have, cost valuable lives, but
as to which we may rest assured that for one life lost a
hundred will be gained, and the cause of civilization and
the prosperity of the people will in the long run be
eminently advanced. But no doubt such a state of things,
such a mission as I have described, involves heavy
responsibility. In the wide dominions of the queen the
doors of the temple of Janus are never closed, and it is a
gigantic task that we have undertaken when we have
determined to wield the scepter of empire. Great is the
task, great is the responsibility, but great is the honor, and
I am convinced that the conscience and the spirit of the
country will rise to the height of its obligations, and that
we shall have the strength to fulfil the mission which our
history and our national character have imposed upon us.

Ineed advice. i have a lot of friends at school but recently my best friend for some reason didn’t like our friend group. she wanted to switch to a new table during lunch. she said she found a new table where we would be welcomed if i wanted to come. i agreed because i knew i would continue to talk to them outside of lunch. after a month or two, my best friend got mad at our new lunch table group. so she left for a day or two, but i stayed because i actually kinda liked it there, even if it was kinda crazy. then she came back to the table. eventually i started to miss my old friends at my old lunch table. so i went over there for one lunch. then after lunch i sat at my new lunch spot before the bell rang. they all called me a traitor. so now i sit with my old lunch group, which is fine because i missed them, but i also miss my new, now old, lunch table. what should i do? p. s. sorry if you loose your last brain cells trying to understand this.

How does the play resolve the conflict between conscience and law? creon acts according to the law, not the conscience of advisors, and is punished. each character chooses familial loyalty over civil obedience and is punished. the deaths of haemon and eurydice fulfill the prophecy. creon sentences antigone to death even though haemon asks him to reconsider.
