Antigone (Anouilh): Jounal 1

1940's in Europe

• WWII
• Germany was trying to take over
• Facists were trying to consume the continent

These could affect the message that Anouilh convey's in Antigone. He could change the conflicts betweent the characters to be more intense because of the war. The relationship between Creon and Haemon will probably be intensified because it is a feud between two men, which is like war, and back then only men were soldiers.
