Read the excerpt from "The Royal House of Thebes." Antigone and Ismene heard with horror what Creon had decided. To Ismene, shoc

king as it was, overwhelming her with anguish for the pitiful dead body and the lonely, homeless soul, it seemed, nevertheless, that nothing could be done except to acquiesce [to accept without protest]. She and Antigone were utterly alone. All Thebes was exulting that the man who had brought war upon them should be thus terribly punished. "We are women," she told her sister. "We must obey. We have no strength to defy the State." Which archetype does Ismene best represent? the villain the heroine the warrior the coward

The answer is: the coward.

In the excerpt from "The Royal House of Thebes," Ismene is portrayed as the opposite of her sister Antigone, who is the heroine of the story. She is afraid to disobey Creon's order not to give burial to her brother Polyneices, and believes women should not withstand the commandments of powerful men.

A high school diploma is important to one's future. It is important because it proves one was willing to work hard to attain a high school education, and without one, it may potentially be difficult to obtain a job. Without a job, it hard to make enough money for a more than adequate life, as most people dream of. Another way a high school diploma is important to one's future is it allows them to further his or her education. High school diplomas look good to colleges and raise one's chances of getting accepted. In order to get into college, one just needs a G.E.D. or a General Education Diploma. High school and high school diplomas are very important to one's future because they help shape the outcome and help set up the amount of success that person will have. High school diplomas are important to one's future.

Select all the correct answers.
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

A. conforming to social conventions

B. criticism of a middle class lifestyle

E. the necessity of companionship

Explanation:

The first alternative is supported by the first part of the passage in which Tolstoy describes all the reasons why Fedorovna seems to be a good match for Ilyich in the eyes of the society and Ivan Ilyitch himself.

The second alternative is an overall conclusion that can be derived from the fact that the passage describes marriage more like a business deal than a derivation of love.

The third alternative is revealed to us by the fact that Ivan Ilyitch knew himself that Fedorovna is not her best match, but decided to still marry her, because he needed to have a partner.
