Antigone

Trial
I feel the trial went well, also I think that the jury made the trial a little more real than if we were just presenting to ourselves. I do feel that the objective of the trial should be made know a little sooner. I think that this was an interesting experience for our class, maybe next time no rehearsal. Making the case more recent would be a good thin because there would not be as much disconnect about the different customs and laws. Over all the trial went pretty good. Also it might be a good idea to have a larger briefing for the jury before so that they are well informed.

I am aware, of course, that no Ruler can expect complete loyalty from his subjects until he has been tested in office (146-147).
Why does Creon expect complete loyalty? He states that loyalty will not be there in the beginning but his words assume that it will come after testing, why? Did a previous ruler set this precedent.

Antigone

"Rising to the speed the flight of the white invaders
      Homeward in full retreat!

   The army of Polynices was gathered against us,
In angry dispute his voice was lifted against us,
Like a ravening bird of prey he swooped around us
 With white wings flashing, with flying plumes,
      With armed hosts ranked in thousands," (117-112, Antigone)

In western culture white is often seen as a symbol of the heavens or of the gods. Why would they build up their enemy?

INTP

Introvert(58%) iNtutive(28%) Thinking(28%) Perveiving(28%)

The INTP personality type is called, "The Architect"

INTPs are often thoroughly engaged in their own thoughts, and usually appear to others to be offbeat and unconventional. The INTP’s mind is a most active place, and their inward orientation can mean that they neglect superficial things like home décor or appropriate clothing. They don’t tend to bother with small talk but can become downright passionate when talking about science, mathematics, computers, or the larger theoretical problems of the universe.
INTPs are typically precise in their speech, and communicate complex ideas with carefully chosen words. They insist on intellectual rigor in even the most casual of conversations, and will readily point out inconsistencies of thought or reasoning. Social niceties may fall by the wayside for an INTP who is more interested in analyzing logic, and they may offend others by submitting their dearly held values and beliefs to logical scrutiny.

I feel that I often do get lost in thoughts, or start to day dream when I start to think about something that interests me. I believe that I do not pay a lot of attention to how I dress. Also that what I wear does not often fit with social norms, or match. I do feel that when it comes to conversations I am often lacking what to say to other people. I will miss some social cues and will say insensitive things when dealing with others.

There is an expedient side to the INTP character, and this means they will focus on the things, which interest them most, and can actually become totally absorbed in such activities. The routine, the detail bores them rigid and they will put off completing tasks, which they see as unnecessary, preferring to 'blitz' them nearer the deadline. For the INTP follow-through does not come naturally, and completion will be via a huge burst of energy at the last minute.
The INTP is the cynical, (they prefer to call themselves ‘realists!’), character who is intensely logical, analytical and detached. Independent and skeptical they believe solely in the power of logic, finding it difficult to express or even to ‘do’ emotions. (http://www.preludecharacteranalysis.com/types/intp/characteristics)

I when I find something interesting I will completely loose track of time. After putting off a project after getting distracted I will often rush to finish the day before it is due.
I also do see my self as a realist, it is often invest myself into a lot of things. I am also often questioning my faith because I try to think logically.
