Question

That’s when we saw the girl. She was shrieking— a distressing painful cry, just like a bird who’s seen an empty nest, its fledglings gone.

What does the figurative language (used by the guard who arrests Antigone) reveal about how Antigone feels?
She is afraid. She is mourning. She is insane. She is angry.

Answer 1

The figurative language (used by the guard who arrests Antigone) reveal about how Antigone feels is that She is mourning

Step-by-step explanation:

In the play "Antigone" by Sophocles, Antigone is the tragic heroine, in this scene the language that they use expresses her pain because of her brother's death and her fight to bury his body against the order of Creon of not doing it, the words shrieking, painful cry, use figurative language to represent her mourning her loss.
