Mythological parallels

Throughout Antigone, the Chorus steps in to comment upon the action of the play. Sometimes the Chorus provides background information, histories of particular characters, or even mythological parallels. In other cases, the Chorus interprets the events of the play and clarifies the “moral of the story,” so to speak.

Choose one quotation from the Chorus and write a post in which you discuss how this quotation relates to the events of the play.

Some points you may want to consider include:

Does it clarify the plot?
Does it give background information?
Does it help the reader understand the meaning of something?
