Antigone

Sibling rivalry is a prevalent theme in Antigone. In what ways does the relationship between Antigone and Ismene mirror the relationship between Oedipus and Creon? In what ways are the relationships different?

How is Creon “one of the most persuasive dictators portrayed on stage” (10)? What is the significance of this, considering the historical context in which it was written and performed?

All throughout the play, the characters describe things based on fate. Then, at the end, the Chorus directly challenges Creon and tells him not to kill Antigone. How is Anouilh playing with the original form of Greek tragedy here, and what might be the reason behind the sudden switch from characters being driven by fate to characters having agency?
