 “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 It asks interesting questions, and the themes didn't feel outdated, like with some other classics.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!

~School reading~
I sort of liked it but i didn’t love it. It just didn’t do it for me. It is easy yo read and understand so if you want to start reading classics i think this book is a good one for beginners.
