Quadrant D. Project: Synthesize

Greek theater was characterized by vibrant colors, music, and lively dancing, heavily relying on the chorus to convey themes of violence, war, and ethical issues. The internal struggle of characters in Greek tragedy, as seen in Antigone, highlights the conflict between personal morals and divine law. Costumes and masks played crucial roles in character identification, especially since women and lower classes could not participate in performances. The narrative of Antigone unfolds with her defiance against Creon’s orders, leading to catastrophic consequences for all involved, thus illustrating the essence of Greek tragedy.
