  • Write on the topic below:
    You have come into possession of a time portal that will allow you to visit the past (but without affecting the time continuum), but it has some restrictions. You must submit your request in writing to the portal and demonstrate that you have good cause to visit (or it may refuse your request). Based solely on the play Antigone, determine and demonstrate which individual you would most be interested in visiting the past as -- Antigone, Creon or Haemon. Remember, the portal is very particular about whom it lets go through and requires a request that contains good argumentation and good supporting fact.
