Creonte e o exercício do poder
Description
This article intends to show that, in the tragedy Antigone by Sophocles, power is presented as something perverse, to such an extent that it conditions the behaviour of the inhabitants of the city, and principally of Creon, the figure which is analysed in detail. This reflection on power, suggested by this tragedy, also makes sense when applied to our own time: a sign of the evident actuality of classical literature.
