It's not as crazy as you think. By now, most of you know Donald Trump, the notorious host of TV show, The Apprentice and one of the world's top real estate tycoons. For those of you who haven't heard, Donald Trump is running for president (and you need to pay better attention to what's happening)! Trump has been the center of the media's attention lately, spewing controversial quote after controversial quote.
Antigone is an Ancient Greek tragedy by Sophocles written in or before 441 BC. Chronologically, it is the third of the three Theban plays but was written first. The title character, Antigone, is the daughter of Oedipus, King of Thebes.
The last issue Sophocles comments on in Antigone is the role of power and authority in a culture. Creon is the king and can do essentially whatever he chooses; in this play he chooses not to allow Polyneices a proper burial.t is true that Antigone is as intractable as Creon; however, her stubbornness is based on family pride rather than personal pride. Women were not traditionally part of the Greek culture, so having a woman speak and act as Antigone does is may be Sophocles' way of suggesting that women's voices add value to a culture.
