Interesting:
I find that this play is really dramatic. There are many pauses through out the play, to show the characters are thinking, and "taking in" what other characters are saying. The colors, as discussed in class, have been popping up a lot. There is also a lot of sarcasm. (As discussed in class.)

Sardonic (I am not positive if these sentences are correct):
"Later on he will come running in to announce that Haemon is dead."
-I thought this might be sardonic due to the Chorus is being non-chalant with this sentence with such a serious matter.
"That's what he is brooding over."
-This is the follow-up sentence. The Chorus says this sentence, and with my point of view he is seeming sarcastic in a rude way. Someone has died, and the Chorus uses "brooding" which it seems to show no sympathy.
"As for those three red-faced card players-they are the guards."
-This seems to just be rude. (Probably not sardonic, so ignore this one.)

I think I should have "sardonic" explained to me one more time.
