Antigone is one of the greatest female figure from Greek mythology, and even the history of women in general. The second charismatic figure to which it is often associated is Electra. There still has a touch of féménité and humanity in Antigone we do not always find in Electra. Antigone is the symbol of integrity. His two brothers, who shared the throne of Thebes successively each year, killed each other in a battle for the crown (called war 'seven Thebes'). Antigone shows in turn the face of a rash sister, a niece unmoved, a desperate bride and a very lonely woman. This piece is a masterpiece. The only one that can surpass Giraudoux's Electra.
