Topic 1: You will imagine that Creon and Antigone are in a courtroom where it is determined who was at fault for all this woeful situation in the play. Each character will be his or her own lawyer and make a 5 paragraph closing argument. Creon will defend the idea of the unchallenged and supreme rule of law, and Antigone will defend the idea of conscience (or perhaps the idea of family honor) as more important in the end than the rule of law. Examples could come from outside the play, but each body paragraph (paragraphs 2, 3, and 4 of each essay) must have one quotation either spoken by the character, by the chorus, or by another character such as the prophet Teiresias, to defend that point of view.
