Paper Summary:
The paper shows that Anouilh's remake subordinated the themes connected to the duty to the divine -- which were so integral to Greek culture. Remaking the play in the context of World War II France, Anouilh focused more on the issues of integrity and political freedom. Disinterested in the notion of human rebellion again divine principle (which was Sophocles' preoccupation), Anouilh focused on the heroism of individual courage.More papers on Sophocles' Antigone and Jean Anouilh's Remake:
