Justice, Repetition, and Heroism

All’s fair in Hell and Hades: Justice features prominently in Antigone and the Inferno. In the former, Olympus’ law justifies Antigone’s crime against the state; in the latter, Heaven’s law justifies the punishments within the nine circles of Hell. In both cases, divine justice does not always sit right with the people involved. Write an analytical essay exploring the disparity between human justice and divine justice within Sophocles’ Antigone and Dante’s Inferno.
Repetition, Repetition, Repetition: Rhythm, structure, and emphasis—all valuable literary qualities achievable through repetition. The Thousand and One Nights exemplifies repetition at work in prose, while Tang poems provide many examples of repetition in poetry. Write an analytical essay arguing for or against the efficacy of repetition as a literary device.
Heroines with Style: Antigone, Shahrazad, and Penelope are all courageous in different ways. Is one more heroic than the others? Which woman is more in line with your image of heroism? Write an analytical essay contrasting the classical heroine with the modern heroine.
