Which theme do the two passages have in common? Read the excerpts from "The Royal House of Thebes"
and " The Story of a Warrior Queen."
"You knew my edict?" Creon asked. "Yes," Antigone
replied. "And you transgressed the law?" "Your law, but
not the law of Justice who dwells with the gods,"
Antigone said. "The unwritten laws of heaven are not of
today nor yesterday, but from all time."
-"The Royal House of Thebes"
O The law of the gods is higher than human law.
O Cleverness is better than strength.
O One must follow one's own moral code, no matter the
price.
O Breaking the rules gets you into trouble.
But although the Romans were clever, they sometimes
did stupid things. They thought very little of their own
women, and they did not understand that many of the
women of Britain were as brave and as wise as the men,
and quite as difficult to conquer.
-"The Story of a Warrior Queen"
