"It is my nature to join in
love, not hate."
-- Antigone
Now that you have read Antigone by Sophocles, you know that King
Creon banished Antigone from Thebes because she defied his edict of leaving
the body of Polyneices, Antigone's brother, unburied. For defying
Creon's proclamation, Antigone was declared an anarchist and was sentenced
to death, which was lessened to banishment in a cave. Antigone took
her own life and was never cleared of her charges, being an anarchist.
In this WebQuest, you will undergo the process of researching anarchy and
civil disobedience, discovering what the culture of the ancient Greeks was
like, making connections to your present-day society, and attempting to
clear Antigone's name from the charge of being an anarchist.
