Climax guaranteed!

Once the curtain, "Antigone" exudes a powerful intensity that continues to grow with the rapid succession of climax. Written in a single act, the tragedy of just 60 pages amazed by the will of Antigone not to try to save his skin. Is this his way of vibrate, like Becket said that in another room Anouilh: "You have to play his life to feel alive ..."?
As Becket, Antigone seems very attached to earthly life. But if the sacrifice of Becket was due to his attachment to God, that of Antigone for Polynices unworthy brother is harder to justify. Hemon engaged to, she prefers to give up this love and defy the ban of King Creon. Hemon's father condemned to death, because she wanted to give a burial to her brother Polynices rascal who fought to death and killed his other brother, Eteocles good.
"Antigone was made to be dead. (...) Polynices was only a pretext. " Creon This explains the choice of Antigone, who really do anything to escape his death sentence.
Unlike other tragedies where the relentlessness of fate is based on a succession of contrary elements, the disastrous fate of Antigone depends primarily on its rejection of happiness and contempt of bourgeois values ​​as embodied by the royal family .
In this sense, Antigone is a perfect candidate for the success of a tragedy. His choice, akin to an abdication, joined the definition of tragedy given by the choir in the room, "It's relaxing, tragedy, because we know that there is more hope The dirty hope; (...) In the drama, we debate because they hope to get out. "
Struggling, this is certainly not what Antigone, she dramatizes that at no time the tragic death of his future.
