Paper Summary:
Sophocles and Brecht were playwrights separated not only by millennia of time but also by the radically different cultural and social contexts of classical Greece and 20th century Europe. This being said, the paper shows that one of the striking elements of a comparison and contrast of Sophocles' "Antigone" and Bertolt Brecht's "The Good Woman of Setzuan" is how similarly they depict the forces that constrict and define women's identities in society. The paper argues that while the primary focus of both works is not specifically related to issues of gender and women's identities, both plays represent challenges to social codes.More papers on Sophocles and Brecht:
