Antigone & PLAY WRITING ASSIGNMENT AND PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT

Please find the link to the entire movie on youtube here.
An online version of Antigone can be found here.

By the way, the four topics that you and your groups need to be focusing on are:
  1. Man's law vs. God's law, which is paramount?
  2. When is civil disobedience warranted?
  3. Can you thwart your tragic flaw?
  4. How does gender complicate things?
Also, please remember,
  • characters,
  • dialogue,
  • settings,
  • stage directions,
  • drama -conflict-,
  • elevated language -similes, metaphors, oxymorons, hyperbole-
  • irony
these are all up to you, but you must make your play a tragedy. BEST OF LUCK!!!

Make sure that you have a summary for me on Monday and a script on Tuesday.
