Antigone’s Claim and Other Nonsensical Thoughts, A Second Edit
Okay, so maybe I’m not quite done here. I blame the coffee I had earlier. I have to study for my Anthropology midterm but nope, not right now. Why? Because Antigone is why. To be honest, I don’t know how I feel about Antigone. I can’t hate her but I can’t like her. […] Continue reading →

Antigone’s Claim and Other Nonsensical Thoughts
Truth be told, I didn’t read all of Antigone’s Claim because I found it quite dry.
