Antigone - Pesonal Experience

The following is a quote from Antigone. It is part of one of the Chorus' speeches: "For what is destined for us, men mortal, there is no escape." Read the quote very carefully... Think about what it says... Write a response that explains what the quote means and whether you agree or disagree with the meaning. You are are expected to expand on the DO NOW writing prompt from class. Be sure to give lots of specific examples from the play to support whatever point of view you wish to express.

The heart of Antigone is a moral dilemma (a problem where there is no good solution). The dilemma in the play requires a difficult choice between law and conscience, law and religious beliefs and law and loyalty to a friend or family member. Please write three or four sentences describing a moral dilemma that you have created on your own. Please only describe the moral dilemma. Do not try to solve the dilemma. Responses should be thoughtful and respectful!!
