These differences are not only in the way the story is told‚ but also in the organization of the events that take place and

Modernism Although generally called a movement‚ it is more valid to see modernism as an international body of literature characterized by a new self-consciousness about modernity and by radical formal experimentation. Several literary movements and styles‚ notably Imagism and Vorticism‚ were fostered within modernism‚ which flourished from around 1890 until 1940.

And they should also feel sympathy for Creon; though he has been a somewhat antagonist throughout the play‚ he has always maintained that he was doing the right thing; and yet‚ just as he begins to see the error of his ways‚ it all goes so very wrong for him.
