What is the meaning of this text ? CREON: My lords: for what concerns the state, the gods Who tossed it on the angry surge of strife Have righted it again . . . . A man who rules a state And will not ever steer the wisest course, But is afraid, and says not what he thinks, That man is worthless . . . For be sure of this: It is the city that protects us all: She bears us through the storm; only when she Rides safe and sound can we make loyal friends.

Answer:

Explanation:

Antigone, daughter of Oedipus, the late king of Thebes, in defiance of

Creon who rules in his stead, resolves to bury her brother Polyneices,

slain in his attack on Thebes. She is caught in the act by Creon's

watchmen and brought before the king. She justifies her action, asserting

that she was bound to obey the eternal laws of right and wrong in spite of

any human ordinance. Creon, unrelenting, condemns her to be immured in a

rock-hewn chamber. His son Haemon, to whom Antigone is betrothed, pleads

in vain for her life and threatens to die with her. Warned by the seer

Teiresias Creon repents him and hurries to release Antigone from her rocky

prison. But he is too late: he finds lying side by side Antigone who had

hanged herself and Haemon who also has perished by his own hand. Returning

to the palace he sees within the dead body of his queen who on learning of

her son's death has stabbed herself to the heart.

Explain what John Proctor means when he says to Judge Danfort, “A man will not cast away his good name.”

Love After Love by Derek Walcott
The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
Yo will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.
