Notes from Source: The problem with a contemporary Antigone is that after the horrors of colonialism and imperialism, the defeat of Nazism and Fascism and Stalinism, after the feminist and civil rights revolutions, after popular uprisings like the Arab Spring, and after 50 years of rebel darlings in our films and music, it’s almost impossible to sympathize with Kreon, and his Tyrant’s Burden.
