Theme, Style & a Term Paper

Today we started with a short thesis ranking exercise using examples from your Jane Eyre pressure comps.

We then brainstormed some themes of Antigone of the board, followed by a listing of significant stylistic techniques and figurative language in the play.

HW: Choose a passage in the play that demonstrates a stylistic technique or figurative device in some significant way. Write a close reading analysis (CRA) explaining the technique and how it contributes to the effectiveness of the passage (and perhaps a theme of the play). Due Friday.

The Antigone pressure comp will be Monday.
