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, An Edit
Someone help me, I can’t stop thinking about Antigone and Antigone’s Claim. I can’t seem to put everything on one post because once I publish something, another thing pops up. Damn you, Sophocles.

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. However, after today’s lecture I think I’ll give it another go (but that means I have to juggle between rereading Antigone for the essay, Antigone’s Claim, and Dr. Faustus). Perhaps the second time around I’ll be able to get […] Continue reading →
Im sorry Judith, what?
So I will not lie, reading Antigone’s claim was such a tough experience for me. I don’t even know if I really consider it reading, because I was honestly lost the WHOLE TIME. However, the lecture did brighten my horizons, … Continue reading → Continue reading →
