Can't believe Creon's had a face-heel turn! That bastard, I liked you last play man what the fuck! 

Less... for lack a better word *action packed* then the last play, and I found the characters in general less engaging, but the play remains a classic for a good reason. It's ruminations on how much blame can be placed on an individual, in the face of the unknown and unavoidable, feels very much ahead of its time in many ways.
