- The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live.

- I think Antigone was the first Feminist piece of literature. One of the reasons that Antigone is able to have the best argument is because of her great use of pathos. In the begging of the play, she starts using pathos with Ismene when she tries to convince her to help bury Polyneices. She says that if she does not bury her brother’s body, the dogs and birds will pick away at his body. Also, she says that she will not dishonor him and that it is actually her “duty” to bury her brother. Antigone refuses to “betray” him and will defend his honor by doing what is right and burying his body.
