Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Literature - Medieval Literature, grade: A, Lindenwood University, language: English, abstract: Many times, people seem different by the actions they take. It is easy to judge another person by the goals and visions this person has and pursues as well as his or her values, not paying attention to the underlying character. However, no matter how different these goals are, the personality of the two persons can still be much alike. Examples for this are Antigone and Creon in Sophocles' Antigone. Although similar in character, the visions and values that they follow are so distinct from each other, that it makes it easy to take side for one of them. With her values and her loyalty to the individual, Antigone is the one who overall wins my side and sympathy over Creon.
