Antigone

The purpose of this post is to test, because I don't know what Im doing... But my thought about Antigone is that although it's any ancient and sometimes dry text, I get completely caught up in the tragic poetry of her circumstances, and the circumstances of Creon - who would change things if he could but is bound by his own pride and law which would crumble if he were to go back on his word for Antigone. I love that all five of the tragic conflicts are present in the text: man vs woman, individual vs society, youth vs age, individual vs society, and mortals vs the god(s). The fate of Antigone is set, but she doesn't fight death and through her complacency, and even her obstinate fight for Justice, which demands for both her brother's burrial and her death, is an observance of what must be. In the Classical World, characters are masters of accepting responisbilty and consequences of their actions, perhaps a good lesson for contemporary readers.
