Much like Oedipus at Colonus, I found this extremely boring. There was once again no real intrigue in the events that were happening, and I feel like everything fell flat. I loved the women in this story though, because they always stood their ground. I think my problem with Greek plays, or maybe just with Sophocles, is that all of the big events that happen are always told to us by a messenger or an outside force, and we often aren't in the mist of the big event that happens. I think that's why everything fell flat for me.

Este fue un regalo de mi profesora de lengua y literatura por graduarme del secundario. No suelo leer clásicos tan viejos porque dudo de mi capacidad neuronal para procesarlos, pero Antígona se me hizo relativamente sencillo de entender. Ademas, la razón por la cual mi profe me lo regalo me fue suficiente como para querer leerlo lo más pronto posible (aka: la voz de las mujeres en Grecia).

Me gusto bastante, Antígona fue la primera girlboss y Hemon el primer social justice warrior con complejo de gen-z and you can't change my mind. Probablemente lo re-leere en el futuro.

Cerramos en 3,75. Gracias StoryGraph por darnos números con coma. Anyways, gracias profe love u mucho.

 “We have only a little time to please the living. But all eternity to love the dead.” 

Antigoné was a surprisingly enjoyable read! It asks interesting questions, and the themes didn't feel outdated, like with some other classics. The only thing I didn't like was that sometimes the characters would have these endless monologues that were hard to follow after a while. But overall, it was pretty great!
