Of the following, who was the first to emphasize internal character conflict? a. euripides b. sophocles c. aristophanes d. aeschylus

The correct answer is B. Sophocles was the first to emphasize internal character conflict.

Explanation:

Sophocles is one of the three great Greek playwrights whose work has partially reached us, along with Aeschylus and Euripides. His work deepens the psychological aspects of the characters, featuring heroes, often lonely and even rejected (Ajax, Antigone, Oedipus, Electra) and confronted with moral problems from which the tragic situation arises. Compared to Aeschylus, Sophocles does little or nothing to stage the gods, who only intervene by oracles whose obscure character often deceives men, in the mode of tragic irony.
