"Sophocles, your novels should not be read by children"Plato concludes."

Antigone is motivated by fictional characters who make her proud of herself. Somehow Antigone considered herself as  the goddess-who attempts to sacrifice for purpose. Plato, a renowned Greek philosopher, address things young adult read may have great impact on them. Antigone is a good example. Plato also emphasize the significant of education; he questions what if children , like Antigone,are ignorant of their reality. His philosophy also is applied to Greek as well as modern society. The most obvious example is that any program -on TV - must be rated an censored. The purpose of this is to educate and enlighten children thing that is suitable for their age. As their philosophy thinking grow , they start to adopt thing more"adult".

"Creon, We are no different", says Oedipus.

As we have obtained the absolute power , we  become more ignorant because we often surmise thing- we believe in- is right. Remember, how thoughtful you are when you don't experience kingship.Now as a king, You begin to perform the contradictory feat of what you have faith in. Why? The reason is simple:we are afraid of losing our throne. We advocate and consider our prerogative as divine right whereas it just serve our own purpose. As a king or a tyrant shall I say, we have no free choice but do what we can to secure our throne. One more thing  I would like to mention, Creon,is our flaw doesn't only impact on us but the people who are entrusted to us!

Ismene's philosophy has a great impact on Calculus

She proposes that each person can't accomplish thing- exceed their ability. This concept seem to apply well to Calculus. Suppose a function going beyond their horizontal asymptotes, therefore this is not a function any more. For a rational function, the denominator can not be zero , and so as a mathematician , this person must not pick zero. Many mathematicians have attempted to define imaginary number, i. As a result , none of them success .

Ismene's philosophy

"To act beyond your ability is mindless folly",(Antigone by Sophocles) emphasize one significant Ismense' s personality. Unlike  her sister Antigone, Ismense  surmises that human may fail if they do something that is impossible. She concedes that each person has a specific role in life. Each has its own limitation; exceeding this will ruin a person.Ismense is cautious and believe what she can do within her ability. If people are wondering how Ismense has this character, the answer is her society. She depended on powerful people , and was afraid that they would punish her. The death of her brothers renders her that personality.

A tragic hero doesn't has to go to heaven!

In most of tragic stories , people have read, the protagonist always die. Youth and being callow are the common personality of tragic hero. Romeo and Juliet , for example , are doomed by their foolish and the lack of experience. Oedipus , nevertheless, was ruined by being narrow-minded. Living a life after death is much better than suffering from opprobrium , pain , and humiliation. Closing their eyes ,readers superimpose Oedipus 's face on their. Only one thing's for sure. They would execute themselves. Tragedy -including death-seem to ease the protagonist , yet other which don't.

Incest is either moral or immoral in human's perception

According to biology , different species mate  each other  to produce offsprings -that keep them from extinction.  This concept is definitely true to human. Ancient Egyptians exhorted their kings to marry his relative even his own daughters , in order to secure royal monarchy. As human becomes smarter, this idea is construed as a crime because Ancient Greek inveighed against it strongly by creating plays : one of them is Oedipus the king. They begun to question their prior thought , and some of them event surmise that their religion's idea is bombastic. Remember philosophy's goal is to ameliorate life. Even though immorality of incest is permeate , some cultures infringes it; perhaps people's point of view is provincial. Consider this: if incest is so hackneyed why do people keep debating about it? In modern world, many people have observed a  lot of epitome of incest. That renders their emotion lurid. This is really difficult to determine whether or not it is moral.

Is Socrates a tragic hero

Even though Socrates is a Greek philosopher, he is truly a tragic hero. His social status is noble and he is a well respected man. The choices lead him to his tragic flaw; Socrates decides to expostulate to Athenian’s religion. In addition, he provides them a paradoxical conclusion that all men know a little bit or not at all. For the reason , people rejudiced him and sentense Socrates to death. His impiety was another evident to proves him a tragic hero: Punishment exceed crime. Some people feel that decision is unjust. But, at the end we have the motion of catharsis and accept the reality. Many believe that if Socrates’s life is portraited as a play , it’s surely a tragic story.

He marries his mother.

Wow, Oedipus The King has roused my interest of studying psychology. The most significant plot in it is the relationship of Oedipus and his wife-who is actually his mom. How could he do that?Has he have no shame? By reading Oedipus The King , I concede that politic is nothing but sin. People are willing to do anything against their morality.

I stuck in this chocolate war

Hm! I'm finding a right word to assuage my grief. The "Goober" should dissuade me not to  expostulate "Sister Leon" but she doesn't . I swear to God that I can feel the hiatus in our relationship even though I try to tell "Goober", but my words seems to be hackneyed. They contain nothing but petulant tone. My exhilaration has vanished in vain since I set my foot in this war. I'll put my faith in someone who is going to intercede this. All things "Leon" shows me doesn't resonate but turn me lurid. Someone says "Leon" 's work is meritorious but I ponder about it. I have the prerogative to quit it; because I'm afraid that "leon" will take umbrage at my action and I want an "A" in this class. I concede that my post doesn't make any sense to reader because I choose to express it by using innuendo instead of direct statement.
