Lit. Techniques
1.metaphor: "worth your breeding, Ismene, or a coward"(60)Antigone compares Ismene to an animal, implying that if she does not show courage, she is not up to the expected standard of her family.
2.foreshadowing:"Zeus hates with a vengeance all bravado"(65) The chorus foreshadows that something will happen to Medea when they refer to bravado-Medea is full of tough and angry talk, but we do not know if she will act as she says.
3.metaphor:"The culprit grates on your feelings,/I just annoy your ears"(74) The sentry implies to Creon that he should not be angry at him, but at the culprit, because he(the sentry) is just the bringer of bad news.
