Reviews - Antigone | The StoryGraph

445 reviews 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

4.0

I'm a bit ambivalent about Anouilh's adaptation of the tragedy. There are certain things I absolutely love about it and think they were an interesting take. However, there were things that slightly annoyed me. I felt the humour was forced, out of place and not particularly funny. The conversation between Creon and Antigone at the end was unnecessarily too long and it takes a while to get to the real point. There are a few moments that feel like they talk too much about nothing, whereas the Sophocles play is a lot more focused and sharp. I also don't feel particularly empathic towards any of the characters, but I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing.
Making all the characters so stubborn and foolish, is annoying, but it also strengthen the idea of a completely meaningless death and makes the tragedy somewhat more tragic I I guess. I really like the twist added to the play it makes it quite poignant and sad. There are quite a few very interesting and strong themes in the play, from loss of youth, naivety and idealism, to the beauty and the form of tragedy. I very much enjoyed the meta-theatre aspect of this play as well, quite possibly the strongest aspect.
