Answer 8

In the play 'Antigone', the purpose of the sentry is alerting Theban King Creon to instances of violations of the law. Specifically, he alerts the King of disobedience to a recent royal decree by which the disloyal Theban dead are denied their god-given, traditional rights to proper burial. The sentry's purpose also is posting guard on the site where the dead are left, above ground and exposed to the elements, the dogs, and the birds. Additionally, his purpose is arresting violators and bringing them before the King for sentencing.

Answer 9

Ok
What belief causes Creon to decide at last that his decree about Polyneices's burial is against the gods' will?

A.
Teiresias only reports what the boy claims to have seen.

B.
Teiresias has been bribed to deliver a tragic prophecy.

C.
Teiresias's prophecies have proved true in the past.

D.
Teiresias's anger is a sign that he speaks out of jealousy.

Answer 10

That he wants absolute obedience and unswerving loyalty from everyone in Thebes is the motive for Creon's forbidding burial and funeral rights to Polyneices in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Thebans have divinely guaranteed rights to below-ground burials and funeral rites. Creon honors those rights for Thebans who die loyal to Thebes in the recent civil war over the royal succession. He denies them to those who die disloyally fighting against Thebes. So the underlying message is the respecting of rights and privileges only if the Theban is considered to be on Creon's side in all Theban matters.
