informative fast-paced
dark sad fast-paced

I read this for School and was amazed at the themes and points that it brought up. I mean if Sophocles could know these things way back when why is it so hard for society to grasp even now.

Also I know the name is pronounced an-tig-uh-nee but I always get a giggle out of seeing the cover and saying anti-gone :) haha try it its fun!

difficult to rate the tragedies but Antigone is a classic for a reason
emotional sad fast-paced
