Anouilh’s Antigone Tragedy Trashed or Translated? Mark Rothko, “Antigone”

“Drama” v. Tragedy “In drama you struggle, because you hope you’re going to survive. It’s utilitarian – sordid. But tragedy is gratuitous. Pointless, irremediable. Fit for a king!” (Chorus, 102)

Agenda Anouilh’s Antigone Introduction Remarks Discussion Is This What Tragedy Is?

Anouilh’s Antigone Introduction Remarks

Introduction to Play Play, Setting, Theme Setting Dilemmas frivolity v. purpose destiny v. defiance pragmatism v. individualism Structure – “scene one” Prologue (pp. 79 ff.) Antigone &...

Context? “Set without historical or geographical indications” (p. 79)

Context (cont’d) Historical Nazi occupation (composed, produced 1943) Creon = occupation? Antigone = resistance? Intellectual Modernist search for meaning Existentialism Individuality Responsibility for actions Definition by actions Absurdity Humans give meaning to world Facticity Authenticity Despair

Anouilh’s & Sophocles Ship of state Sophocles Oedipus the King “Our city … our ship pitches wildly” (Priest to Oedipus, p. 160) Anouilh Antigone “Try to understand for a minute, you little fool! … Someone has to steer the ship. … The crew won’t obey” Existential despair Sophocles Oedipus at Colonus “Not to be born is best” (Chorus, p. 358) Anouilh Antigone Creon: “Are you looking forward to growing up?" Page: “Oh, yes!” Creon: “You're mad, boy! It'd be best never to grow up, either”

Discussion Is This What Tragedy Is?

“In drama you struggle, because you hope you’re going to survive. It’s utilitarian – sordid. But tragedy is gratuitous. Pointless, irremediable. Fit for a king!” (Chorus, 102)

What do you think the Chorus means by that? Do you agree? Disagree? Judging by dramas read during both halves of the semester (please discuss at least two from each half), how does this quote validate or challenge your definition of tragedy? How do you respond?
