Antigone (Dramatized) Audiobook

" This tiny book is one of my all times favorite. The character of Antigone is so 100%. I love it! "

" Existentialist re-imagining of the Greek play Antigone. Well written, not really for me but may work for others. "

" One of my favorite takes on the story. A little dramatic, but he WAS writing to shame his country into standing up to the Nazis, so I guess it was warranted. May I also recommend it in French? Because it's really good in French. Aren't I a smartypants. "

" This version made me love the story of Antigone! "

" This story is fascinating anyway, and this version of it by Jean Anouilh is great. "

" This is a translated (from French) adaptation from the 1940s of the original Sophocles play.... weird that no one explained that in 10th grade... I need to reread this and I need to read the original. "

" It was ok....I had to read it for school. "

" I really enjoyed this retelling of Sophocles' "Antigone". Anouilh uses some very poetic language, and the characterization makes you wonder who the victim really is: Creon or Antigone? "

" A slightly more modernized version of "Antigone," this play was first performed in Paris in 1944, when the Nazis were occupying France. There are a few things missing, but, for the most part, the plot is the same, and I thought this version was pretty enjoyable. "

" No doubt I love the tragedy of Antigone, specially the one by Sophocles,but Antigone by Jean Anouilh is as fantastic as one by Sophocles. It must be the story, the fight, insisting, and standing against the state which is flirting me much, ... no, I'm not a rebel ... "

" This adaptation of Sophocles' Antigone was written and performed in Occupied France during WWII. The story was meant to parallel French Resistance (Antigone) vs Government of Vichy France (Creon) "

" We read this in my fourth year of French, senior year of high school. "

" I gave Antigone two stars because I dont like to read plays and this was set up as a play. I also didnt like it because it didnt catch my attention. "

" Read in high school. One of the first Greek tragedies we covered and really liked this one despite it's shocking (for high school) ending. "

" Everytime I read this book, I think of my friend Matt who died in highschool. He was in my English class and we were reading this when he died. "

" Probably my favorite play of all time. While I love the French Resistance's use of this play during WWII, for me, it is about Antigone and her coming of age and figuring out what she wants to stand for. "

" Originally published in 1943, an adaptation of Sophocles written by a Frenchman during the Nazi occupation. Heavy with themes of duty, freedom, conformity, and authority. Marvelous! "

" I read this play at least three or four times. It's one of the works that really convinced me that reading things in the original French was well worth learning the language. Anouilh is amazing with his capacity for wit alongside the darker places inside the human soul. "

" I didn't just read this, I played the part of the narrator in a play produced by my my high school. I remember we all wore black and white... Ms. Confrey loved this play. "

" My favorite in the Oedipus cycle. There is less focus on tragic flaws, and more on tragic relationships, which is so much more fun. "

" This was so beautiful I was stunned. My favorite french drama. "

" I love it.... I took it yesterday and i finish it the same day... it's a really good book... and i really recommand you people to ead it... :) "

" Liked "Oedipus" much better. Still a fine greek tragedy. The question: is Antigone or Creon the tragic hero? Hmmmmm... "

" On connait tous Antigone de Sophocle et on a tous entendu parlé de celle d'Anouilh. Que dire sur cette réécriture fantastique, pleine de sous-entendu qui nous font réfléchir ? Rien, à part que c'est un bon livre à lire. "

" Elle reste La meilleur pièce de théâtre de Jean Anouilh.Je l'ai lu presque 5 fois et je pense même de la relire une autre fois ... "
