Death is a very touchy subject for most people. Details involving a discussion of death most certainly include some topics that will be covered in this comparative essay. People all die for various reasons, whether it's an honorable reason, a cowardly reason, etc. No matter why people die, after they leave, the consequence is almost always the same. After someone dies, loved ones cry and suffer, and may even do something more tragic. Louie is a talented young boy with a different view of the world, but he is also disabled and suffers from a series of health problems. Louie one day sees a little girl drowning and decides to go try to save her, in the process of saving her he ends up drowning. Whereas Antigone is an intelligent young girl, sometimes very selfish and immature, who decides one day that she wants to die and therefore commits a series of "crimes" to be punished with the death penalty. In the novel Wave Watcher by Craig Alan Johnson and the play Antigone by Jean Anouilh, Louie and Antigone die for completely distant causes, but their deaths have consequences. In the play, Antigone, one of the main characters, dies for selfish reasons. . In the play, Antigone dies because she wants to die, unlike Louie, who dies to save someone else. Antigone is selfish and immature and only thinks of herself. Throughout the play, the main theme revolves around Antigone and her lust for wanting to die, making up excuses and pretexts to die. Creon, Antigone's uncle, tries to understand why and to whom Antigone so desperately wants to give her life, and in this excerpt he asks: "'Why are you (Antigone) acting like this, then? To impress others, those who believe in it? To pit them against me? 'No.' “Not for the others? And not for your brother himself? For whom then? 'Person. Myself.' 'Do you really want to die then?' » (Anouilh, 35 years old). When reading this quote, the reader can notice two main things. First, the reader can observe Antigone's desire to die. When Creon asks do you really want to die then?, he is asking a rhetorical question, because he already knows the answer, as does the reader. The second thing that we can observe is that Antigone herself confesses the reason why she wanted to die..
