Antigone Trial

I really enjoyed the Antigone trial. It took some work but was a blast. I liked that we were able to use the other classes as a jury. I hope that we are able to have more trials this year where both parties have an equal opportunity to win.

            As a judge my job was to weigh the facts and make a fair verdict. However, I was also Zeus the Greek god who operates on his on rules and rarely makes fair and logical judgments. I really liked being a judge, I feel like the job suited me well. I just wish that I was able to judge without bias due to my character.

            I was surprised by the decision of the jury. It seemed to me that the prosecution had a much stronger argument and it was presented with poise and confidence. The defense seemed to be a little frazzled and inefficient with their question asking.

           Overall, it was a great experience and I think it would be very interesting to do this again without the dress rehearsal so that everyone has to think on their feet.
