Antigone ended......

On Monday, 6th of August 2007, we continued reading “Antigone” with our lecturer. Our lecturer tried to explain to us all the main and important points of the play to us. While our lecturer was reading the play to us, we tried to highlight the important phrases in the play and we even jotted down the important points and notes given by our lecturer. Although most of us can barely understand this play, our lecturer had been very patient with us. He did not scold us for being dummies for this play, but he spent a lot of time explaining to us the whole idea of the play as for us to comprehend the play better. In this lesson, we learnt about the relationships between the different characters in the play and the way they communicate with each other in order to identify their terms of relationship. We also learnt about the element of irony in this lesson as we tried to identify that what Creon said in the play is very ironical from his acts. We learnt a lot about fate, God, and destiny. Finally, we finished reading “Antigone” by the time our class ended. To sum up the lesson, lecturer revised with us what we had learnt about the play, the literary element we identified in the play and the whole idea of the play. “Antigone” is really a very tragic play indeed. It is interesting to be read as this play stimulates my thinking skills. “Antigone” rules!
