The play 'Antigone' is known for clear, straightforward dialogue and elegant odes. It also is known for economy of stage props and setting. And it's known for the mental and physical actions of the main characters. And it also is known for its timeless appeal through its treatment of questions of universal applicability and concern. For example, does one obey only manmade laws? What does one do if manmade laws contradict one's moral or spiritual beliefs or customs? What is the responsibility of the ruler to the ruled, and vice versa?
