Plato's 'Apology' / Socrates & His Dichotomous Profiles

Abstract: A 5 page paper that reflects on the two different and seemingly contradictory profiles of Socrates that become evident in a reading of the Apology. Initially, Socrates seems almost self-effacing, but following the finding of his guilt, Socrates is noisily heroic and refuses to beg for mercy. These contradictory images are presented and demonstrates support for Socrates' belief that 'the unexamined life is not worth living.' No additional sources cited.
