Goldilocks

Whenever I read I’m often struck by similarities to other things I’ve seen/heard and sometimes I laugh a little bit at these moments. The people around me are usually pretty used to the sight/sound of me laughing randomly and sometimes they ask me what’s up. In the absence of people being around me while I’m […] Continue reading →

Antigone, alone

Fragments

Forgive me, I took a break to read the Bacchae* and just missed midnight! Our master was in despair. We obeyed him and looked inside. We saw her down at the tomb’s end, hanged by the neck, a noose made from her linen robe; and him, his arms around her waist; bewept his bride and […] Continue reading →

Born to be different

So I happened by my copy of Antigone in my town’s used book store. I bought it before we had known what editions we would need, but somehow fate led me to buy the exact edition we would be using. … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Ramblings on Antigone

Howdy pals! I’m finally getting around to blogging about Antigone, which is surprising for me because I enjoyed it much more than Gorgias. I found this play fairly easy and enjoyable to read!
