Écoutée en audio selon la traduction de Leconte de Lisle
J’ai préféré la version de Jean Anouilh, plus moderne. Mais j’ai aimé découvrir l’histoire de Sophocles avec le vocabulaire de l’époque. Dommage pour du théâtre l’audio n’était pas terrible

I have actual academic thoughts about this play which I love dearly, but they boil down to 1) men ain't shit 2) antigone slays 3) a system of "justice" built on retaliation and revenge will always fall to ruin

I read this during my first semester of my political science degree. I liked it a lot, but my teacher made it even better. I love political philosophy and that's how we looked at it - of course it can be understood in many different ways. I think its a must read, but maybe not in high school.
