4.0 out of 5 stars Antigone, January 30, 2002
By Tiranendur (Rochester NY) - See all my reviews
Anoulih's version of Antigone was adapted for the time in which he lived. It contains hidden symbols to, at the time, both get the book past the censors and give the french audience moral and courage to stand up to the Nazi's and follow their beliefs. The characters are adapted slightly to fit his version, ie Tieresas is left out and a nurse is introduced. He also had to adapt the personalities of the characters, for instance Antigone develops a whiny habit, and Creon is seen as a "good guy". This was also done in order to get the play by the sensors. It is a well-written play with rounder characters than the original. This version would be better read after reading the original.

3.0 out of 5 stars I'm not a fan of this book, November 10, 2006
By GBF "GBF" (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
I did not care for the transaltaion, nor did I care for the commentary--
except in as much as it made me want to compare translations.
I am an adult reader, and theater artist.

4.0 out of 5 stars Antigone by Anilouth, July 4, 2006
This is a modern version of Antigone that helps students relate the themes of the original version to modern times. The concepts of a higher law than man's is certainly expressed, but more importantly, the determination of the few and the role of Haemon are stressed. This is an excellent piece for an Advanced Placement class to use after reading both OEDIPUS AND ANTIGONE BY SOPHOCLES.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ignore the idiot who previously reviewed this book.
This was an excellent book. It is an adaptation of the Greek play "Antigone," by Sophocles, written here by a French existentialist author and playwright. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars "...I no longer know why I am dying."
Why not die? For fear if God? For fear of being forgotten? For fear of not "is-ing"? For fear of worms! For fear of life eternal? For fear of night? Read more
