50 points: How does Sophocles interweave the themes of marriage and death in Antigone? must be 4-5 sentences

Anouilh uses several techniques to highlight Antigone's youth. In Part 1 (Early Morning) the nurse, a character absent in Sophocles's play, calls her "my little flibbertijibbet" and "my poor baby" and portrays her charge as a wayward tomboy. Antigone herself shows a childlike preoccupation with her dog, Puff. Her rebellious behavior contrasts with that of her sister Ismene, a "coquette" who is ready to fit into the role of an adult woman. In burying her brother Polynices, Antigone used a child's tool, a toy spade, and she treasures a paper flower he gave her when she was even younger.

Explanation:

In Sophocles's version of Antigone, the prophet Tiresias accuses Creon of poisoning Thebes with his policies and warns the king the gods are angry with him for leaving Polynices unburied. He adds that if he allows Antigone to die, he will lose his son Haemon. Sophocles's prophet makes it crystal clear to the audience that Creon is wrong and his pride will lead to catastrophe. Because Tiresias does not appear in Anouilh's version, it's up to the audience to decide whether Creon is wrong to pursue the death penalty or whether in fact, the king, who represents pragmatism, might have a point: Antigone's sacrifice might be necessary to preserve peace.

Most writers who comment on Antigone remark that the major

theme of Sophocles’ play is the struggle between human law and

divine law, or the laws of the gods.1 The conflict of the play revolves

around Creon and Antigone’s difference of opinion over which law is

superior. Creon emphasizes the need to obey earthly magistrates to

maintain order: “Anarchy, anarchy! Show me a greater evil! \ This is why

cities tumble and the great houses rain down, \ This is what scatters

armies!”2 Antigone insists that human law is preempted by divine law

because the latter comes from a higher source: “All your [Creon’s]

strength is weakness itself against \ The immortal unrecorded laws of

God. \ They are not merely now: they were, and shall be, \ Operative for

ever, beyond man utterly.”

i think the answer would mist likely be an adjective clause, because unhappy is an adjective.
