Hamartia play write
Hello Sidney, I recently received your letter regarding the revision of Antigone. After reading, I have gladly decided to accept your offer and give you my insights on revising Antigone to your needs.
I have come up an answer for your first request, which was “Can we do something about Creon’s hamartia? Can we change the story in some way to make him more pitiful to the audience?
Creon’s hamartia was his inability to be a good ruler who canable to make good decisions, reconsider his actions, and listen to the suggestions of his citizens. Creon’s hamartia caused led Creon to not reconsider or have a second thought when he outlawed the burial of Antigone’s brother, Polyneices. My suggestion to fulfill your request is to modify Creon’s hamartia so that Creon is a ruler who, is still a bad ruler, considers his actions with himself and the people who he rules. In order for the audience to pity Creon, the story must be modified so it corresponds to the change of Creon’s hamartia. The story should be changed so that Creon has a hard time contemplating the outlawing of Polyneices so Creon consults the people of his kingdom., which When barely the majority of believe that Polyneices should not be buried, which is what leads to Creon outlawsing the burial of Polyneices. If this change to the story is made, the audience will pity Creon because they know that Creon was in a time of deep contemplation and stress when he decides to outlaw the burial of Polyneices.
I have also come up with suggestions to your second request which iwas, “How would you strengthen the peripeteia of the play, so the audience feels more dramatically the pull of fate? “
I believe Creon’s peripeteia is the moment when he and his soldiers return to the cave to release Antigone and hear Haemon crying inside. I believe the peripeteia is already intensely strong but is still able to be strengthened. My suggestion of strengtheningto strengthen the peripeteia of Creon is to add in a chorus during
