Antigone Journal #1

Symbol: "My countrymen, the ship of state is safe" (P. 67, lines 179-180).

-The city is looked at as a ship by Creon likewise as it was seen in Oedipus the King. The ship was trapped in a storm but then was later safe, which shows that the city was in danger but then recovered, and shows that the city saved them from a big disaster.

Metaphor: "he's flying headlong now the bridle of fate stampeding him with pain!"(P.65, line 124).

- Portrays an image and also creates an effect of fate and how it cannot be stopped. This also establishes a theme where it can be seen that fate plays a role in people's lives.

Personification: "The doom reserved for enemies marches on the ones we love the most" (P. 59, line 12)

- This personification shows us how things can go the other way around as the person had hoped for. Wishing that your enemies effected, you get a negative result and the people who are the closest to you get effected.
