Good grief the intro is masterful. What a way to start. Made me emotional when I didn’t even understand what wasnt stake yet.

per quanto vorrei essere antigone penso che alla fine sarei ismene, perché non sono che codarda e gli dei non mi sono mai stati cari

Ok so I’m actually really upset that my copy of the Theban Plays has them in reverse order but I have to read them in reverse so I can tab the pages in order 😔

Antigone is a powerful tragedy about standing up for what you believe is right. Antigone chooses loyalty to her family and to divine law over the rules of the state, even though she knows it may cost her life. The play shows how pride, power, and stubbornness can lead to devastating consequences. It’s a reminder that the conflict between personal conscience and authority is timeless.
