Antigone Journal 3
Journal 3 read pages 20-44
Journal: Anouilh bombards his audience with conflicting ideas, phrases, images... choose a set of concepts: yes vs no, ugly vs pretty, truth vs lies, illusions vs reality, dull vs color, short sentences vs long sentences... discuss how and why Anouilh creates the tension between the contrasting ideas.
Just a little helpful information:
We'll have a discussion tomorrow. Here are some questions you might want to consider:
What role does the chorus play? How does Anouilh discuss Tragedy? Is Antigone rational? Creon discusses the "pride of Oedipus" who displays hubris how and why? Who wants to life and who wants death - how and why? Who is taking a "easy way out"?
Bonus: Cultural significance of the following passages
"We are of the tribe that asks questions, and we ask them to the bitter end. Until no tiniest chance of hope remains to be strangled by our hands. we are of the tribe that hates your filthy hope, your docile, female hope, hope, your whore -" (43)
"Kings, my girl, have other things to do than to surrender themselves to their private feelings" (31).
