Antigone and Other Tragedies: Antigone, Deianeira, Electra Sophocles
Sophocles stands as one of the greatest dramatists of all time, and one of the most influential on artists and thinkers over the centuries. These three tragedies portray the extremes of human suffering and emotion, turning the heroic myths into supreme works of poetry and dramatic action.Antigone's obsession with the dead, Creon's crushing inflexibility, Deianeira's jealous desperation, the injustice of the gods witnessed by Hyllus, Electra's obsessive vindictiveness, the threatening of insoluble dynastic contamination... His plays are deeply disturbing and unpredictable, unrelenting and open-ended, refusing to present firm answers to the questions of human existence, or to provide a redemptive justification of the ways of gods to men or women.
And yet they do not deteriorate into cacophony or disgust or Such are the pains and distortions and instabilities of Sophoclean tragedy.
