O mito trágico em Antígone, de Sófocles e Jean anouilh

The book "The Tragic Myth in Antigone, by Sophocles and Jean Anouilh" offers an in-depth analysis of the classical tragedy "Antigone" by Sophocles and its modern adaptation by Jean Anouilh. The author, Welinton Fabiano Da Silva, aims to illuminate the differences and similarities between these two versions and to reflect on the tragic conception in a contemporary context. Through a comparative approach, the irreversible nature of the tragic action is examined, with specific scenes selected and their significance explained in relation to the portrayal of tragedy. The work encourages critical engagement with the place of the tragic in the modern world, which is marked by conflicts, and demonstrates how the reinterpretation of the classical myth opens new perspectives on the character of Antigone. This analysis is of interest not only to literary scholars but also to anyone who wishes to engage with the themes of tragedy and myth in today's world.
