Read the following excerpt from Antigone:
ANTIGONE: Death, who lays all to rest, is leading me to Acheron's far strand Alive; to
me no bridal hymns belong, for me no marriage song has yet been sung; but Acheron
instead is it, whom I must wed.
Here, Antigone uses figurative language to:
1 Allude to another famous Greek marriage to highlight her relationship with Haemon.
2 Personify Death as her husband in order to emphasize her eventual fate.
3 Create an image of the underworld as being her final resting place.
4 Compare her current plight to that of Acheron in Greek mythology.
