The opening scene in <em>Antigone</em> between Antigone and Ismene sparks the play's action (A.) by revealing Antigone's plan of burying her brother against the king's orders.
Sophocles' play<em> Antigone </em>starts with a dialogue between Antigone and her sister Ismene, where<u> Antigone tells her that she is determined to bury Polynices</u>, their brother, despite Creon's orders<u>. Ismene tells her sister that she will not help her to bury him and tries to convince Antigone to respect the law because</u> Creon had ordered to condemn to death to anyone that dared to bury Polynices since he had been a 'traitor'. Therefore, while Ismene is submissive to the king, <u>Antigone decides to break the law and pay obedience to a higher religious law instead</u>.
Answer:
This lines from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado" provides an insight into narrator's mercilessness. Fortunato's last and soft cry of fear made Montresor's heart grow sick. Narrator's ascribing this sickness to cold weather shows that he is a biased narrator.
Explanation:
The narrator of the story "The Cask of Amontillado" speaks in first person. Since he is justifying his act of murdering one of the fellow men, his viewpoint is unbalanced. The view point is also partial because we know almost nothing about Fortunato (the antagonist - about to be murdered).
Almost all the narrative of the story is full of mercilessness, here is another example,
<em>"I continued working. I could hear him pulling at the chain, shaking it wildly. Only a few stones remained to put in their place. “Montresor! Ha-ha. This is a very good joke, indeed"</em>
This partial and unbalanced view point creates suspense in reader to know what would happen next.
