The Major Features Of a Greek Theater Greek theaters consisted of lively dancing, bright colors and music, which is why the singing chorus was such a major component of plays during the time. Topics included violence, war, murder, betrayal, ethical and social commentary, and even everyday life. The Major features of a Greek Tragedy Greek Tragedy is the internal struggle of the hero/heroine between what he thinks is good and laws of the gods.

Costumes in Greek theater let the audience know a lot about a character, even before the actor opened his mouth (WOMEN, SLAVES AND FOREIGNERS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE). Costumes were fashioned to identify female characters, high-heeled shoes were worn for tall characters and the Greeks relied heavily on masks to identify occupations and change an actor's look, as he often portrayed more than one character. com/timeline.htm Click to see all ancient Greek Theater Mask com/timeline.htm Click to see all ancient Greek Theater Mask

Exposition The exposition of “Antigone” is found in the opening scene. Antigone talks about the fate of their brothers. Eteocles' corpse is being honored with a proper burial. But Polyneices' corpse is being left above ground and exposed to the elements, the dogs, and the birds. Antigone is distressed about Polyneices being denied his god- given rights to proper burial rites and rituals. Ismene isn't concerned. Rising Action The rising action of “Antigone” is Antigone’s decision to defy Creon’s orders and bury her brother. Complication The complication of “Antigone is when Antigone buries Polyneices, but is caught and brought to Creon. Antigone challenges Creon’s decision and moral authority to prohibit the burial. Antigone’s situation gets worse. Climax The climax of “Antigone” is when Creon, too late to avert tragedy, decides to pardon Antigone for defying his orders and burying her brother.

Catastrophe The catastrophe of “Antigone” was of Creon. His choices and decisions ended up deciding the fates of his son, wife, and Antigone. After having an encounter however with Teiresias, Creon comes around to realize what he has done is sinful to the gods. He has put his own pride over the fact of appreciating the god, Making him a tragic hero. Resolution The resolution of “Antigone” is Creon's loss of everything dear to him.
