 Mrs. Zelenovich’s Sophomore English II classes have started to talk the play Antigone on Monday, November 30.
            Sophomore Cassie Link is in Mrs. Zelenovich’s fifth hour class. The lesson for that day was about the history of the playwright Sophocles and the other two parts of the trilogy that Antigone is in. Antigone is the third part to the trilogy. The first two parts of the trilogy are Oedipus the King and Oedipus at Colonus.
            “The play seems to have a lot of psychology behind it behind it and a wide range of literacy to be learned,” said Link.
            Antigone is a Greek play written by Sophocles sometime around 441 B.C. and takes place in ancient Greece. The play is based on the myth of Oedipus.
            Students will be reading the play aloud to each other in class and will then will give a speech after the play.
            “I think it’ll be very interesting because of the plot twists and how they make everything fall into place,” said Link.
