Read these lines from Antigone. ANTIGONE: Ismene, dear sister, You would think that we had already suffered enough For the curse on Oedipus: I cannot imagine any grief That you and I have not gone through. What helps Antigone make the dangerous decision to bury her brother, despite the known consequences? Antigone, as a strong woman, wants to undermine Creon's male authority. Antigone believes that she is doomed, due to her father's sin, and accepts it wholeheartedly. Antigone cannot imagine that her own death could be worse than the death of Oedipus. Antigone wants to teach Ismene a lesson for being so weak-willed and knows that Ismene would be hurt by Antigone's death.

explanation:

dear evan hansen is a stage musical with music and lyrics by benj pasek and justin paul, and book by steven levenson.

the musical opened on broadway at the music box theatre in december 2016, after its world premiere at the arena stage in washington, d.c., in july 2015 and an off-broadway production at second stage theatre from march to may 2016.

at the 71st tony awards, it was nominated for nine awards, winning six, including best musical, best score, best actor in a musical for ben platt, and best featured actress in a musical for rachel bay jones.

as we know, the english language is spoken all over the world by native and non-native speakers and has become the most certain tool when it comes to communicating. businesses, schools, even romantic relationships depend on it to keep thriving. in addition, it is the language of the internet not only because most of the content available is in english, but also because people prefer to use it when talking to others, since it's the language everyone supposedly learns.

yet, there have been some current claims that chinese will soon take over as the most important language in the world. china's magnitude has never been more evident and doing business with the chinese is a gold mine for any country. we now see language schools offering chinese courses as commonly as english.

however - even though we cannot deny china's importance and the advantage it is when someone takes the time to learn the language their business contact speaks-, people in general seem to be ignoring the aspects that seem to keep english as the chosen one of languages. one of them has been mentioned above: it is the language of the internet. also, chinese people are still learning english, since it opens doors in communicating with practically everyone else, from every single country.

note: if this is not the sort of transition you need, let me know. : d
