dark emotional inspiring reflective sad tense

What a pointless story.... And we inflict this on school children and wonder why they think English sucks....

Awful, just awful. Unreadable.

I really liked this play. I thought it was well thought-through, great characters, an interesting plot line, and a great antagonist. we had to read it for school and, to be honest, this is my favorite thing that we have read in school. great read.

I have no idea what this book was about, but it was short. Also Antigone is a badass and that i know for sure.

It's a classic, what can I say? A lot of it has been redone, I can tell, and this is the basis for a lot of those stories. It's good!
