A review by lilmousewarrior
Antigone by Sophocles

4.0

TRIGGER WARNINGS: sexism, arguments about religion, mentions of suicide, despair.

I read this, for a second time, for a class project. The goal is to take the play and summarize it into a 10min performance. Despite Antigone being a short script, it is hard to pick out just a few key scenes. The chorus summarizes important events, and the interaction of characters is necessary to understand the warring perspectives on age, gender, religion, and justice. It is an interesting read, my only note is that one perspective in the end is portrayed as being the "right" one.
