Directions: In Antigone, it isn’t easy to decide who is the tragic hero. The play is named Antigone, but Antigone disappears from the action before the end of the play. The final words of the Chorus are addressed to Creon; does this designate him the tragic hero? Consider the following questions and draw your own conclusions. There is no right or wrong answer, but you must be able to prove your point. Antigone or Creon? You may answer the questions with an A or C. 1. Which character appears to be more committed to a principle?
2. Which character has more freedom in the choices he/she makes?

5. Which character arouses the greater pity or fear?
6. Which character has a moment of recognition or discovery?
7. Which character seems to be at the center of all conflicts?

Which two parts of this excerpt from mary shelley’s frankenstein reveals information about the setting? (it was on a dreary night of november that i beheld the accomplishment of my toils.) with an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, (i collected the instruments of life around me, that i might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. it was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out) when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, i saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs. (how can i describe my emotions at this catastrophe), or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care i had endeavored to form? his limbs were in proportion, and i had selected his features as beautiful. beautiful! great god! (his yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; ) but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same color as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips.
