E: After Œdipus's death, Eteocles and Polyneikes agree to shared the throne, alternating who ruled each year. But at the end of the first year, Eteocles exiled Polyneikes, and he (Polyneikes), fled to the city of Argos. He gained the favor ofthe city's king, married the King's daughter, and raised an army(of the Argive), to attack Thebes, and reclaim his rights, one champion for each gate. At the seventh gate, the familial curse was fulfilled, and both killed each other at the same time.(https://www.britannica.com/topic/Seven-Against-Thebes)

O: Antigone shows foresight, and emphasizes the importance of the afterlife in her eyes, where it is eternal compared to the limited time mortals have on Earth.

O: While theater may be one of a few places that can simply "display" the character without direction or added context. descriptions, or remarks, written prose that can seem rather complex and alive also exist, if the character is demonstrated through actions, background or incentives, internal thinking or self-muses, which brings out a more vivid character, whose actions are realistically dependent on previous influences, instead of being a "character sheet" character or Mary Sue, or of that who follows a classical trope. The character is not created as a plot driven device, and acts with intention, but also unconscious decisions, much like what happens in real life, which illustrates and adds "noise" that creates more complex and compelling characters, continuous instead of something discrete, free from defined tropes, vast and liberating. This type of fiction is often called literary fiction.
