Dont worry you'll be fine - just re-read the books and make notes while you are doing it
Well in my practice papers we've been doing I've been getting 17+ marks - I always do the a connective followed by P.E.E chains in my essays.
For example: 'how far is the portrayal of Creon in this scene consistent with his character and behaviour in the rest of the play' (20marks) (the scene was lines 536-548)
I shall skip to my Paragraph 1 to show you how i structure it
'Initially, Creon is perceived as a tyrannical and menacing leader with purpose who portrays authority upon the people of Thebes,(POINT)...
'this is indicated through his punishment upon Antigone which is to give her a 'barbaric death'..(EVIDENCE - i probs could have gone further into detail here that she is his blood line family but he still has to look powerful amongst Thebes.. i.e Creon cannot go back on his words)...Indeed his actions towards the sentry who brings the message and Polynicies burial seems to indicate this fury much further (more EVIDENCE) He vehemently interrogates the unfortunate messenger and threatens to have him killed for not getting his story out soon enough whilst being indecisive. (even more EVIDENCE)
Clearly, this is a main indication of Creons own 'hamartia', or tragic flaw. Here he is unnecessarily cruel, as well as calculating upon the characters in Sophocles' Antigone. (POINT)
Furthermore, he one could argue that he represents the reign of tyrannical kings in the ancient world, reinforced by his statement to Haemon his own son - that he is "King" and his question that he should perhaps rule Thebes for "myself" as he states. Indeed, all these points signify flaws found within Creon, and this is supported in the speech he makes to the Chorus at lines 536 - 548) (Explain)
