Este fue un regalo de mi profesora de lengua y literatura por graduarme del secundario. No suelo leer clásicos tan viejos porque dudo de mi capacidad neuronal para procesarlos, pero Antígona se me hizo relativamente sencillo de entender. Ademas, la razón por la cual mi profe me lo regalo me fue suficiente como para querer leerlo lo más pronto posible (aka: la voz de las mujeres en Grecia).

Me gusto bastante, Antígona fue la primera girlboss y Hemon el primer social justice warrior con complejo de gen-z and you can't change my mind. Probablemente lo re-leere en el futuro.

Cerramos en 3,75. Gracias StoryGraph por darnos números con coma. Anyways, gracias profe love u mucho.

 “We have only a little time to please the living. But all eternity to love the dead.” 

Antigoné was a surprisingly enjoyable read! It asks interesting questions, and the themes didn't feel outdated, like with some other classics. The only thing I didn't like was that sometimes the characters would have these endless monologues that were hard to follow after a while. But overall, it was pretty great!

~School reading~
I sort of liked it but i didn’t love it. It just didn’t do it for me. It is easy yo read and understand so if you want to start reading classics i think this book is a good one for beginners.
