quote ~10/23/08~

1. " Her heart was shattered and her hand drove keen the dagger. At the altar there she fell and darkness swamped her dropping eyes.." (250, Messenger)

2. Through this quote, the theme of light v.s darkness is revealed. After hearing the depressing news of her son, Haemon, who killed himself, Eurydice's world came crashing down.When she went to pray to the gods, her asking for guidance would not bring her son back but a loss of hope. The reason for her suffering was because of her husband,Creon's poor judgement about his son's bride-to-be..or was-to-be, Antigone. Her family was everything that she loved and losing her son brought the darkness into her once light-filled life.

3. Do we know what happens to Creon at the end of the book? Do they kill him or does he live with regret?
