More about the book

The commentary explores Sophocles' Antigone through the lens of Hegel's interpretation, highlighting the tension between plot and philosophical principles. Key characters like Haemon and Tiresias represent conflicting values, while the guard's role emphasizes the complexity of the narrative. The Chorus's inconsistent reflections reveal deeper insights into Antigone's significance, contrasting her with figures like Megareus and Eurydice. This analysis underscores Antigone's unique position as a symbol of defiance against societal norms and the concept of generation.
