In the Anouilh version?  really?  

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Antigone is also proved right by The blind prophet Tiresias when he proves that the gods are on Antigone's side this get Creon to changes his mind but not in time to stop Antigone from hanging herself and his son (her fiance) from killing him.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Actually that I dont know... Ive only read Sophocles

[MsFish]

Oh dear.  She hangs herself?  Maybe she doesn't succeed then, because I was thinking she was killed at the hands of the law...

Crap.  There goes my paper.  

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

I dont know how he does it in his... It may end completely differently...

[MsFish]

Let us hope so.  30 pages to go.  

If it ends that way I'm going to be employing my English major BS skills once again.  

[MsFish]

Marie-toi vite, Antigone.  Sois-heurese.


So Creon is LDS, apparently.  

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

It ends with he being led out to die... so yeah you can say the state killed her..

[MsFish]

oh good.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Er.. I was wrong..

there was a another page of the summery

The Chorus enters, announcing that it is Creon's turn. The Messenger delivers the news: Antigone had just been immured, when the crowd heard Haemon's moan from within. Creon howled for the slaves to remove the stones. Antigone had hung herself. Haemon then stabbed himself and lay beside Antigone in a pool of blood. Upon being told of Haemon's death, Eurydice finished her row of knitting, climbed to her room, and cut her throat. Creon is alone. The Chorus notes that truly if it had not been for Antigone, all would have been at peace. All who had to die have now died. Only the Guards are left, and the tragedy does not matter to them.

Unless you take immured to mean entombed in a wall.

      "Once I know something, I can't unknow it or pretend it isn't so. I'm responsible for anything I know," Eric tells Sarah Byrnes in Chris Crutcher's Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes (144). Knowing or not knowing important information makes a difference in young adult characters' willingness to "disturb the universe" and do what they believe is right.

Oo. I think this might work.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

good...

[stacer]

This is going to be the worst paper I've ever written. But it'll be done.

[MsFish]

Um, so they're about to kill her and she hangs herself?  So, same difference, right?  

*Fish crosses fingers

[MsFish]

This is going to be the worst paper I've ever written. But it'll be done.

Oh, I know the feeling.
