Read the excerpts from " the royal house of thebes " and " the story of a warrior queen ." antigone and ismene heard with horror what creon had decided. to ismene, shocking as it was, overwhelming her with anguish for the pitiful dead body and the lonely, homeless soul, it seemed, nevertheless, that nothing could be done except to acquiesce [to accept without protest]. she and antigone were utterly alone. all thebes was exulting that the man who had brought war upon them should be thus terribly punished. "we are women," she told her sister. "we must obey. we have no strength to defy the state." "choose your own part," antigone said. "i go to bury the brother i love." –"the royal house of thebes" "is it not better to be poor and free than to have great wealth and be slaves? " she [boadicea] asked. "and the romans take not only our freedom but our wealth. they want to make us both slaves and beggars. let us rise. o brothers and sisters, let us rise, and drive these robbers out of our land! let us kill them every one! let us teach them that they are no better than hares and foxes, and no match for greyhounds! we will fight, and if we cannot conquer, then let us die—yes, every one of us—die rather than submit." –"the story of a warrior queen" how do the archetypes in these passages support the universal theme that one's values are worth risking one's life for? both antigone and boadicea are warriors who decide to go to war for what they believe is right. both antigone and boadicea are heroes who go to battle against their enemies. both antigone and boadicea are heroines who choose their values over their lives, knowing they may die in the process. both antigone and boadicea are villains who transgress the law in order to fight for their values.

The correct answer is Both Antigone and Boadicea are heroines who choose their values over their lives, knowing they may die in the process.

Antigone was shocked due to Creon's decision, he decreed that none of those who had attacked Thebes will be buried. Since Antigone's brother Polyneices was killed during the war in Thebes burying him will mean disobedience towards Creon and result in Antigone's dead.

As for Boadicea, she wants to fight against the Romans, who are taking freedom and wealth away from her people. She is well aware her and her people are a minority however she still wants to stand against them despite the fact of knowing that they might get killed in the process.

Both characters are willing to fight for they beliefs, theirs values and their loved ones not caring whether they die. Because dying will mean that they at least tried.

hi there!

one thousand and one nights, also called the arabian nights is a collection of middle eastern tales compiled in arabic during the islamic golden age, dated from the 8th to the 14th century. this collection was compiled of largely middle eastern and indian stories with an uncertain date and autorship whose tales such as aladdin, ali baba and sinbad the sailor -these ones were the most popular ones, the ones that have almost become part of western folklore.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him.   then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.
