4: Chorus/Choragos

Introduction: To some people, loyalty is a character trait that ranks in the Top 1. While some might debate this ranking, loyalty remains important to most, as is the case in the drama Antigone. Should the Chorus exhibit this attribute towards the king, one with whom they do not always agree? They should definitely respect the king, all the while standing on their own principles.

Chunk 1:  How did this character display being "loyal to a cause""?
The Chorus remains loyal to the cause of Creon.

Chunk 2:  Do you agree with this character's decisions?  What would you have changed?
This group had little choice but to remain loyal to the king and follow-through with the mandates of Creon. This, I would not change. Just as in this country, when a person wins an election, that is exactly what has happened, and the other side should then respect the winner for the title he/she holds, even no support can be given that person.

Chunk 3:  Your opinion/connection to this character
The Chorus/Charogos are to be appreciated, for they provide valuable insights into the background of the play/drama.

Conclusion:  Why should students read this play...which was written 2500 years ago?
Students should definitely read this drama. Of course! Absolutely! Why should students read this play...which was written 2500 years ago?
