Considering Antigone's death was for naught, as in the end she has no valid reason for her defiance (Creon actually had good arguments), could one say that Anouilh's Antigone was proto-absurdist?

Anouilh wrote his Antigone a few years before Camus wrote any of his books about absurdism.

Before anyone points it out, I know the pic I attached is of Sophocles' Antigone.

Well I'll answer anyway because it's a good question.

Creon reveals what actually happened in the war, and how both of Antigone's brothers were dickheads who wanted to kill their father and then eachother to claim the throne. They didn't even know whose body was whose so they just gave one of them a fancy mausoleum and left the other to rot.

For a while it looks like Antigone, now without any good reasons for burying her brother, is going to give up, but then Creon suggests she should just try to live her life and take the little joys she can claim. After this Antigone snaps, she might not have anything to fight for anymore, but she has something to fight against. She doesn't have some morbid obsession with death and she loves life, but she refuses to live a life of compromises. Basically 'liberty or death'.

read Sophocles' Antigone, what is the difference between that and your version

>>8920915
I have read Sophocles' Antigone already though :^)

You only think Creontes had a point because you're a heretic positivist.

Laws of God trumps laws of men. End of story.
