Talk:Stone-Cold-Death-Vault

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] What does this article accomplish?

This is a term that's not mentioned at all in Antigone (play), and there are no sources at all cited in the article. I'm smelling a hoax or something made up in school one day. Does anybody know why this shouldn't be pushed toward deletion? —C.Fred (talk) 03:07, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What this article accomplishes:

Of course this term is not mentioned in "Antigone"! It is a term used to describe the difficult decisions faced by both Antigone and Creon in the play. While it is a true "fact" of the play that Antigone is left to die in an underground stone tomb, this is a sort of play on words referencing that point in the play. "Stone" symbolizes the "hard" decisions that everyone must face with in society, "Cold" illustrates the "cruel" nature that leads each party away from compromise, "death" is the wish of both Creon and Antigone for the other and then themselves throughout various parts of the play (which neither is satisfied with at the end), and "vault" not only draws reference to antigone's tomb, but also the vault by which opposing sides have been enclosed in, unwilling to change their ways. I urge you that this is not a "hoax", and do not understand why it is considered to be one. Thank you...(i believe that I clarified the beginning description of this term better. It is not the title, but a symbolic title...) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.3.180.29 (talk • contribs) 04:41, 10 May 2007 (UTC).

Yes, but where are the reliable sources to back this up? "Defondism" returns no Google hits; in the absence of a full citation (book and page number, or ideally a URL) I'm putting a {{dubious}} tag on that. (Please leave the tag up until it is cited with a reliable source.) The remaining citations are so vague as to be impossible to look up. It may not be a hoax, but I wonder if it isn't original research. Again, all problems that can be corrected with reliable, independently-published sources. —C.Fred (talk) 17:00, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
