Status Updates From Antigonick

i don't understand the lack of capitalization (umm look who's talking??) and weird punctuation; i don't get most of the references, and it's a shame because most of antigone and ismene's conversations involve hegel for some reason?? but i have no idea about his writings...
i can see it's very clever though, and some parts that i did understand were hilarious (like the portrayal of guard and kreon)

“Antigone: You did nothing you shared nothing leave my death alone.
Ismene: I want to row the boat with you.
Antigone: Save yourself
Ismene: I’ll be so lonely. “
sisters ❤️

I don't love this lol

anne carson is just so casually the best most inventive writer in the world

“Dear Antigone, I take it as the task of the translator to forbid that you should ever lose your screams” holy shit

Kreon:
well he's gone in anger and pain let him go
Big Man
I have deaths to do

Chorus: here's Antigone
please don't say she's the one

Guard: she's the one she did it she did I got her

Chorus:oh perfect

Hilarious
