Used book – Antigone, Jean Anouilh

Following Sophocles, Jean Anouilh reinterprets the myth of Antigone. Daughter of Oedipus and Jocasta, young Antigone rebels against the human law forbidding the burial of her brother Polynices' body. Presented during the Occupation in 1944, Anouilh's Antigone portrays the absolute nature of a character in revolt against power, injustice, and mediocrity.
