It's always hard for me to rate classics because I think you need to approach them in a different way than books you read for fun. For me, it's not as much of a distraction and more about learining about other times.
So I usually end up rating them 3 stars, because I don't have as much fun as when I read for entertainment but I also enjoy getting to know about how society worked in the past and I value how well written they are.
Antigone wasn't different. There were some pararaphs where I didn't understand a damn thing, but I really enjoyed the dialogues. And I love the way Antigone defends her cause and doesn't back down. Honestly, she slays. The extra .5 is because of her. Also the dialogue between Creont and the guard was kinda funny.
