Journal Entry 1 Antigone

Knowledge Level (The recall of specific information):
  • Who is Creon's son?
  • How does Isemene become involved in Creon's fantasy of judgement?
Comprehension Level (An understanding of what was read):
  • Why did Creon's son defend Antigone, and all other women?
  • Why didn't Creon accept the advice given to him by his son?
Application Level (The converting of abstract content to concrete situations):
  • How does love affect the relationship between Creon and Haemon?
  • What sort of bond is shared between Isemene and Antigone?
Analysis (The comparison and contrast of the content to personal experiences):
  • Would Haemon's actions be considered an ancient form of chivalry?
  • How does Creon show greed, though he resents it by refering to money and rule?
Synthesis (The organization of thoughts, ideas, and information from the content):
  • How could Haemon have reworded his speech to appease his father and teach him at the same time?
  • Is Antigone going to submit to the sense of morality within the society?
Evaluation (The judgment and evaluation of characters, actions, outcomes, etc…)
  • Should Creon be looked upon as the same as Oedipus was in Oedipus Rex?
  • Will Isemine reveal another self within her, or is she always compliant with another person's decrees.
