3Rs students: In Antigone the chorus acts the way a narrator might in a movie or a book. The chorus also serves to set the tone--the moral tone--of the action. After the death of her father, Antigone (pronounced An Tee Go Knee) returns to Thebes, and in defiance of King Creon (Cree On), she buries her brother, Polyneices (Polly Ni Cees; rhymes with icees). She is entombed alive in the family vault. Her betrothed Haemon (Hey Mon), the son of Creon, kills himself beside her corpse. The debate: do we obey the dictates of the state (Creon) or the dictates of the private conscience (Antigone)? Come prepared to read and debate.
