Antigone

Jean Anouilh

3.8 AVERAGE

dark medium-paced

Ok so you need the religious justification of Antigone to make her not seem insane

As always, the absolute best.

honestly one of the best things i’ve ever read

I read this play for school about 2 weeks ago. It was actually a very interesting read. The main character, Antigone and her uncle Creon are both polar opposites. She believes in the Law of God while he believes in the Law of the People. Antigone believes she has to bury her brother while Creon made it clear that who ever does will be sentenced to death. Antigone knows this and still does it, she, to some, takes the easy way out when Creon offers to save her. He is doing what he needs to do, both people alter the lives of many, and it changes up everyones ideology.
