1. Denouement - B. We are left to wonder what was real and what was a dream.
A denouement is the final piece of the story. In this part, all the plots of a narrative come together to a close, either through a definitive conclusion or a cliffhanger. In "Was It a Dream?", we were left to wonder which events were true and which weren't - and we were left with that ending.
2. Falling action - A. The main character falls unconscious on the grave.
A falling action is typically the act four or five of a narrative, where the plot just went through its climax and the tensions need to be lowered in order to prepare for the finale or the denouement. In the story, the falling action begins with the event described in option A.
3. Exposition - C. We learn that the woman died after developing a cough.
An exposition is sort of like an introduction to a narrative where all necessary details would be told to the readers/audience. From the term itself, certain details are exposed to the readers. This is used to get the readers to jump into the world. Choice C contains an event that we have learned from the exposition.
4. Rising action - D. The main character looks for his lover's tombstone.
A rising action is the piece of the narrative that most of the time immediately follows the exposition. In this part, tensions in the narrative would slowly start to build up in order to lead the readers to a climax - the highest moment of the story. In "Was It a Dream?" we find the main character looking for his lover's tombstone after we learned that she died after having a cough.
Based on the speech, we can infer that Creon views women as inferior beings to men. For him, a woman should be subservient to the will of the men in her life. Creon immediately labels any woman who goes against the decrees of men or opposes a man a “shrew.” He even warns Haemon against marrying such a woman because soon her embraces will turn “wax cold.” This statement implies that a woman’s sole job is to please her husband. Moreover, he speaks of anarchy in solely feminine terms, addressing it as a She, suggesting that women are responsible for everything that goes wrong in society. He also believes that it’s a man’s inherent right to tame and master women; he says that being cast out of society would be a better fate for a man than to admit that he was made to bend to a “woman’s will.”
Ancient Greece was a patriarchal society. As in other ancient societies, women led sheltered lives and were not meant to question decisions made by men. What sets Antigone apart is the heroine’s boldness to stand up to not just any man but to the king. Plus, she never once seems to regret her decision after she has defied the King’s order and buried Polyneices. Keeping these points in mind, Creon’s negative reaction to Antigone does seem to align with the ideas about gender roles in ancient Greece.
Background information in the exposition is the answer
