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.
