Periods 1 - 3

2.  Antigone NOTES: 

Aristotle's Theory of the Tragic Flaw/Tragic Hero

1. Tragic hero is of high social standing
2. Tragic hero possesses a tragic flaw (defect in character such as pride, poor judgment, or excess of an admirable quality) that contributes to his downfall.
3. Tragic hero recognizes his tragic flaw or mistake only after it is too late.

Aristotle's Unities:

Unity of time (play takes  place in a 24- hour time period), place (has only one setting), and action (one plot and no mixture of tragedy and comedy).

The play Antigone is organized into Prologue and Parados, Scenes 1 -5, and Exodos as well as  Odes 1, 2, 3,  4, and Paean.
