Ethics and Hubris in Sophocles’ Ancient Drama
This 5 page report discusses the fact that Sophocles created a reality in his dramas which also addressed issues of the day in terms of how the individual interacts and relates with the collective or the community of which they are a member and to which they must often acquiesce. In his stories of both “Antigone” and “Oedipus Rex,” Sophocles establishes a realm in which the audience cannot help but sympathize with the character who is faced with a dilemma for which they have no experience and no frame of reference. Plato also presented such dilemmas for consideration but did so through the philosophical rather than dramatic aspects of the tension between individual and community
