Really like Antigone by Anouilh.
Well written, with some humorous parts. From the beginning, the fate of the different characters is divulged, but despite knowing, we are hoping for a different ending.

I read this book in secondary school for French...
There are still several fragments I know by heart :-)

"C'est vrai, c'était encore la nuit. Et il n'y avait que moi dans toute la campagne à penser que c'était le matin. C'est merveilleux, nourrice. J'ai cru au jour la première aujourd'hui."

And I could read it over and over again...

I read this for a theatre class and I really liked it. Antigone is a story of a young girl who stands up for what she believes in despite what the people around her tell her.

I learned that it was written during WWII and mirrors the discussions and dynamics that those who resisted the nazi regime had with their families. I suppose it helps highlight their bravery by sticking to their morals rather than saving themselves and looking the other way. Antigone represents that type of character.

I really liked the scene where Antigone talks to her uncle Creon and their talk about all the things she could still live for, yet she insists that burying her brother is something worth dying for.

بیش تر از همه شخصیت های چندبعدی ش بودند که نظر منو جلب کردند: کریونی که یک لحظه عمیق و فلسفی می شد - و خداییش جالب ترین دیالوگ های تمام نمایشنامه مربوط به کریونه - و یک لحظه بعد یک دیکتاتور تمام عیار که فقط می خواد آنتیگون رو "ساکت کنه"، یه هیتلر واقعی. از اون طرف هم آنتیگون ه که حرف هاش هم به نظر کاملاً درست و پرشور و منطقی میان، هم کاملاً پوچ و بی معنا
و باید اضافه کنم واقعاً، واقعاً دم نشر نی گرم با این مجموعه ی "دور دنیا با نمایشنامه" ش که هم ترجمه هاش بی نقصه هم طرح جلدهاش هم قطع و شکل کتاب هاش و هم حتی جنس صفحه هاش! بیش از حد دوست داشتنی

Je veux être sûre de tout aujourd'hui et que cela soit aussi beau que quand j'étais petite -ou mourir.
 
i actually read it because of #ODRfic and the relationship between antigone and créon reminds me so much of h and his father’s one
i thought i was going to enjoying more tbh, maybe my expectations were too high… i’ll try to watch the mise en scène de briançon, perhaps seeing real actors embodying the characters will make me enjoy it more
