Antigone EssayI think the play Antigone has helped us in our daily society. We are more instinctive, we are more human, we have more perspective. We have truly prospered since then. I hope by the end of this essay you will understand the change from society's past and present in everyday life. In today's society we have learned to be much more instinctive than we were in the past. Today we make better choices. Our choices involve improving ourselves and others, when back then they only cared if it helped them, for example the only reason Creon brought Antigone out of the tomb was so the gods of hell wouldn't rain down on him with its curses and punishments. In today's society we don't downgrade other people, we do the work ourselves. In the past the higher power always made other people do the work, for example in the first play the king and queen asked the hunter to take the child to kill him when they should have done it themselves. Today we have better judgments. We don't believe everything we are told. In the past they didn't have better judgment. They believed everything they were told, no matter what. They didn't even think it could be a false accusation, for example in the play the king and queen believed the blind profit Tiresias that the child would grow up and kill his father (king) and marry his mother (queen). This really shows how much our society has changed today. In today's society we are much more human than we were in the past. We worry about people we don't even know. Today, when people get hurt or there is a death in the family or really a death anywhere, we feel remorse and sorrow for them. In Antigone there was a death... middle of paper... comedy Antigone never had much pride, all the pride went into how well the higher power was behaving and the fact that they needed to worship this power superior, and this is what has caused so many problems in the past. Today people take pride in everything they do, little children who are learning put so much pride and effort into what they learn, when people today want to do well or get a promotion or just work really hard at what they do they take pride . Your perspective is very important in life, it guides you through so many things and shows you all kinds of different ways of thinking. The play Antigone and also the past have changed today's society for the better. I hope that through my article you understand how much has changed. All the points in this essay are an extremely important part of our life. We use them every day.http://antigonemythology.wikispaces.com/Antigone's+Impact
