Gogol is best known for his use of irony, hyperbole, and absurdity to create humor and a sense of existential weariness. In some of his works, like <em>The Nose, Diary of a Madman, </em>and even in his unfinished novel, <em>Dead Souls, </em>he famously takes advantage of a single element, like a nose that has lost its owner, the royal ravings of an office clerk, or the business behind recollecting dead souls, respectively, and extrapolates this element to make it englobe and define his fictional characters, this then puts the characters in very absurd situations that, even though they cause hilarity, leave the reader with a sense of dread and even horror, the irony being that, though existence be dreadful, it is, nonetheless, comical to a point of absurdity.

For the ancient Greeks, funeral was very important, it was believed that if not buried, one can not reach the afterlife and spends eternity in Hades (Hell). Antigone couldn't let her own brother be left unburied and devoured by wild animals and she decided to give him proper burial, although it was against the Creon's law and she could be sentenced to death. She showed bravery deciding that her love for brother was greater than fear of sentence, while Ismene, being also Polynices's sister, showed completely opposite actions.
