Antigone (1/9)

[Blitzzyful]

The girl in the orange sounds like drew Barrymore. 

[Danielleandlauren001]

this is not that good not no emotion and antigone was just not good,

[KrazeeAreli456]

I need help!!!

1.how does the conflict of moral or divine law versus the rule of law develops in the play???

2.how do Antigone and her values represent moral or divine law?

3.how does the king and his values line up with the rule of law?

4.Is the king a strong leader, a tyrant, or both? how does he abuse his powers?

You guys would be a great big help for answering these questions!!! :)

@KrazeeAreli456

1. I have studied this tragedy at school many years ago, both in the original ancient and its translation in contemporary Greek. So maybe i can lelp at least with 3 of your questions.

Both Antigone and the King are aware of the moral and devine law that demands respect for the dead no matter what they are guilty of. Kreon is definately a tyrant, an absolute ruler who defies this law, thus showing off his power to his subjects.

@KrazeeAreli456

2. Antigone on the other hand feels not only obliged by the moral and divine law to disobey Kreon's blasphemous order, but she also cannot bear the thought of leaving her beloved brother's body unburied to be eaten by insects, crows and voltures. And it is this love and sorrow that gives her the strength to ignore her tyrant uncle's wrath. I think your first question can only be answered by careful study of the play.

@ BorofAreguzanda WOW what a douche...

[zitsky3]

This is so damn boring. Antigone is flat, the blocking is meh, there is no emotion...

[zitsky3]

This is so damn boring. 

[glower125]

I know it's a HS play but it's very bad acting.

[greatvisitor]

Sorry, this is not a way to perform a greek play :-(

[MewMewLea16]

why is it that the girl in the red dress at the beginning makes me think of Drew Barrymore???

[CookiesAndRain]

wow this is bad...

my school is doing antigone right now and i hope no one uses this to make their choice on if they are going to come or not, i feel they would choose no

[coupleinoxdeidara]

wait also im did eurydice in it waz soOOoo boring all i have to do is knit until i die

[coupleinoxdeidara]

guess wat? im did antigone n middle school n i did it beter than ur hi skewl. sorri jus dinkin about the good times

[rachx987]

This is not a great performance of the scene - I think that it lacks pace and energy; also, both Ismene and Antigone need to be more emotional. They've just lost thier two brothers - I think they would definitely be more upset! Also, isn't this scene supposed to take place at night outside Thebes - the mood onstage should be more tense and secretive, as Antigone is plotting to defy her uncle, Creon (or at least that's what's it's like in the Sophocles version of Antigone).

[Shandiman4eva]

If im honest there's something missing from this Antigone. Something doesnt seem right, i think it's the lack of her emotion. Im glad i wasnt there as an audience because it seems abit boring.

[BorofAreguzanda]

There was an audience.

[99kongsmash99]

my school is doing antigone for a series of plays called faces of the theatre. i get ot be creon! hard to get the right character though.

[Elkindo]

Antigone doesn't seem like a strong character here, she is ment to be strong about her believe and ismene would be more fragile and scared dreading of what her sister as to say.

[Ryanlaskey]

my drama class is doing Antigone for an assesment and im playing Haemon

[atla18]

my school's drama club just put up a production of anouilh's antigone and im playing haemon

[macabrescribe]

I'm the Prop Master for the production of "Antigone" my high school is doing at the end of October.

[RPsinger11]

My high school is doing Antigone this winter. Although I am only in the Chorus, I am very excited. Our director is possibly going to modernize the show.

[bastila07]

It's the Antigone of Anouilh ?

[magimuh]

there are two: sophokles and anouilh

[chalibeth]

i am from greece.here in greek seniors high schools antigone of sofokles is a basic lesson and we learn it in ancient greek and we have to translate it into modern greek.so i know every detail of the act.first of all antigone and ismine are alone outside of the gates of the palace so antigone can tell to her sister about the commant of creon so the other girl doesn't fit there...

[miss0karate]

I feel like this lacks emotion. Isemene and Antigone know that they may never see each other again, and the actors talk so normally....This is Antigone's last chance to get Isemene on her side, and Isemene's last chance to get Antigone to stop before she forfeits her life. I wish we could see that from the actors. Method acting would have helped. Nice customes. Nice set. Smart Actors, with good talent.

[theatrelover559]

I agree, this lacks emotion.

[mudbbir]

[mudbbir]

I can not hear the iota of their speech

[gooserberrytales]

it aint acting

sure a person of our day and age would feel nothing about such a matter, but it was different before! my golly do it justice! what a bore! the only thing that saves antigone is her voice--- and thats thanks to her genes not skills

[BorofAreguzanda]

Uh, thanks.

Prick.
