Thank you so much for this... years later after I read this in high school and have already forgotten everything that occurred- I have a college professor that decides to give us this reading of 70+ pages and a test over it the same week. This helped a lot thank you again!

[@eugenefortein6453]

This is amazing. We're busy with Antigone for drama and we watch your videos everytime we finish an episode and to help us understand the stasimons. You've helped me so much, thank you!!

[@excellentwriters7748]

Hi

[@lepienlife]

I think it is important to mention, since it was left out of the video, that Antigone is guilty of repudiating the values she holds to just as Creon does. When she is being led away to death she says: “Never, I tell you, if I had been the mother of children or if my husband died, exposed and rotting - I’d never have taken this ordeal upon myself, never defied our people’s will.” (995-999) In other words, she was willing to give her life, not because of the moral laws of the gods that she defends to Creon, but simply because Polynices was her brother. She wouldn’t have done it for even her own children - of what blood-relationship could be closer than that? She cannot have another brother since her parents are dead. So the idea of “blood relation” is set aside in the end. So she understands, at her impending death, that she too is turning her back on her public values just as Creon has done. They are both guilty of the same crime but at opposite extremes.

Creon is Jocasta’s brother, not Oedipus!!

[@abigailberven-stotz600]

jocasta is oedipus' mom...

[@jokeswithjeph5215]

@@abigailberven-stotz600 Yea, you need more backstory. Oedipus killed his real father, Laius, (He didn't know at the time he killed him), and married Laius' wife, Jocasta. They then had their 4 kids, Eteocles, Polynices, Antigone, & Ismene. After realizing he killed his father, Oedipus blinded himself. After realizing she married and screwed her son, Jocasta killed herself. So not only is Jocasta Oedipus' mother, she is also his babies' mom, and Antigone is both Oedipus daughter and sister.

At least Oedipeus found redemption when he lost everything while Creon lost everything alone. In the end Oedipeus was still blessed in the end as he found peace despite being blind.

In the Jean Anouilh Adaptation, Antigone's action are not motivated by her beliefs or her religion. But rather with her problems with herself her jealousy from her sister and the thought that she will never live a happy live with her fiancé and that she's destined for misery. She decides to challenge her uncle's orders not even from love to her brother who actually bullied her, but quiet frankly her goal was just to die a horrible death. Creon tries his best to talk her out of her decision but she left him no choice he orders her execution he can't appear as weak king in the fragile system. His son (her fiancé) suicides after the execution of Antigone, and then his mother also follows him.
