What is the purpose of the choral ode that follows Antigone's final exit in 'Antigone'?
An observation on the inevitability of fate is the purpose of the choral ode that follows Antigone's final exit in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus gives examples of three mortals who suffer. One example recounts persecution that is followed by triumph and vengeance. The other two examples relate to less fortunate meetings with Dionysos the wine god and with fate. The ode therefore summarizes that Antigone's suffering fits in with the fate of a god-cursed line.

What is dramatic irony in 'Antigone'?
That Antigone is likened to a mother and to a wife are examples of dramatic irony in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the sentry compares Theban Princess Antigone to a mother bird who finds her babies stolen from the nest. Antigone helps her brother, not her non-existent children, and has no children of her own. Despite her lack of a husband or children, she then is compared to a bride when she in fact is processing to her death by live burial and starvation.

What is gender conflict in 'Antigone'?
The interactions of Antigone with Creon and Ismene as well as that of Haemon with Creon are examples of gender conflict in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the phrase gender conflict describes disagreement or discord based on or involving the roles of men and women. The description fits Antigone's interactions with Princess Ismene and King Creon as well as Prince Haemon's interaction with Creon. Creon and his niece Ismene think that Antigone's gender is the starting point for not doing what she dares to do whereas Antigone and her husband-to-be Haemon disagree.
