Antigone


Throughout the play i found out that the fact that Antigone is a women matters for these time period.  I can see that the system they had was sexist favoring males and putting females down. and example is "good lives are made so by discipline. We keep the laws then, and the lawmakers, and not woman shall seduce us. If we must lose, let's lose to a man, at least! is a woman stronger than we?." here we clearly see that the power is balanced by men only and that women's opinion are not taken in count.
