Journal #11: Antigone

The chorus starts the book as a narrator. He(?) tells the events that have happened but does not get involved with the audience or the story. As the book continues, as tensions grow, the chorus gets more involved. The Chorus starts to play with the audience and gets more emotional and involved in the story. The audience and readers get entangled in the play and tied up in the mystery when-there is none. We all know what will happen but the Chorus plays with us and gives us reality checks. This is so we (as viewers or readers) think about this story in our own lives.
