Sinossi
"Il 'bando' di Antigone "condanna" Ismene all'ordine della pólis; solo lì potrà abitare, non importa sotto quali leggi, suddita per sempre. Nel tempo della pólis dovranno instancabilmente cercare occasionali compromessi la prudenza degli anziani e la volontà di potenza dei regnanti, la timorosa pietas di Ismene e la paura servile della prima guardia, immagine di quella del plethos, della plebe disprezzata da Antigone. Qui sarà chiamato a sopravvivere Creonte, sconfitto insieme al cieco Tiresia. Dura legge e dura prova, la cui necessità la parola tragica enuncia senza ombra di consolazione. E perciò il pathos che suscita fa sapere - e solo nel sapere 'guarisce'." (dall'introduzione di Massimo Cacciari)

This was a reread for me. The first time I read this play was in my sophomore year or high school and I remember liking it but I LOVED it this time around. It's fabulous and now I want to read the rest of the Theban plays.
11/21/21: I recently saw a production of Antigone, the daughter of Oedipus who defied King Creon to bury her brother, knowing that to obey divine law in this moment was the right and just thing to do. It's a little complicated from her on in, but what follows is a review of a kind of adaptation of t Leggi tutto
Book Review 4 out of 5 stars to Antigone , the third in a trilogy of Theban plays written around 441 BC (yes, almost 2500 years ago) by Sophocles . In my junior year of high school, our Advanced Placement English teacher assigned all three Theban plays. This is a mini-review on the final on
