I remember hating Antigone when I had to read it in High School, so I was surprised that it wasn't too bad actually.
I think I would have enjoyed this book more if I had been reading it as literature and not political theory

this is a reread bc i forgot everything from high school.
~
i didn’t expect a story that delves into such complex and opposing ideals.
~
it takes so much out of the characters that at the end u are left with an empty void where the story & characters once stood.
~
it delivers it in such a stellar way, that is completely unexplainable

Antigone only serves to remind us of the unforgiving nature of Greek tragedy, in its finest form. It is the final act of The Theban Plays - and of the Oedipal line - featuring a heroine who is the epitome of honor and belief in one's own role in a larger system, and who, in spite of her fate, manages to break free of the plague that so destroyed her line. A classic, a quick read, and a work definitely worthy of fine analysis.
Sophocles is brilliant, yes, but I still prefer Shakespeare. Again, revisiting this play after reading it in high school.
