Antigone Discussion

"My heart was long since dead" (141).
"There she may pray to Death, the god she loves" (147).

Do you think that Antigone had already accepted death before she buried her brother?

Antigone Discussion

"You ought to realize we are only women, not meant in nature to fight against men, and that we are ruled, by those who are stronger, to obedience in this and even more painful matters" (lines 70-74).

What is the view on women/ their role? How does this view effect Ismene and Antigone's actions?

3. Persuasive
4. Humble
5. Generous

Kristen is friendly and personable. She does not draw attention to herself in order to show off her accomplishments, and she is humble. She is fun loving and loyal in her relationships with her friends and is very generous in her time and gifts. She can be very persuasive when she feels strongly about something and will fight for things that she believes in.

I (56%) N (34%) F (3%) J(18%)

“They are, in fact, sometimes mistaken for extroverts because they appear so outgoing and are so genuinely interested in people.” 
  • While I would say that I’m interested in people, I don’t think that people would ever mistake me for an extrovert. My percentage of introversion is the highest and I think most people would know that. 

“fulfilled with a chosen few from among their long-term friends”
  • I would say that this is very accurate for me. I would much rather have a few very close friends than many more shallow friendships.

“the I and J combination, while perhaps enhancing self-awareness, may make it difficult for INFJs to articulate their deepest and most convoluted feelings.”
  • I’m not sure if I whole heartedly agree with this but I think it’s very interesting. I would definitely agree with the self-awareness part and I would somewhat agree with the feelings aspect, although I’m not really sure. That is a very interesting idea though. 

“Usually self-expression comes more easily to INFJs on paper, as they tend to have strong writing skills.”

  • This is very accurate. I would much rather do written work all day then have to do discussion. It’s much easier to share ideas through writing for me. I’m not sure that I have “strong writing skills” but I think they are much better than my speaking skills.
