Antigone - Year I

"Antigone" is a play that warns of the danger of stubborn self-will, but also a play that glorifies the strength of a woman "who reaches for a feat that is not in the power of female nature". In that sense, Antigone is often described as the "ideal" image of a Greek woman" and "one of the most beautiful characters in world poetry". In any case, she is the first great female character in world literature. In fact, she is outside the Greek tradition of that time, because she is great in spirit and distinguished by her great perseverance and will, and she stands up against tyranny by defending the laws of humanity. Her thought and willingness to sacrifice take on a monumental dimension.
