4066 Sophocles' Antigone and Jean Anouilh's Remake. This paper discusses Sophocles' Antigone and Jean Anouilh's remake of the Greek tragedy. The paper shows that Anouilh's remake subordinated the themes connected to the duty to the divine -- which were so integral to Greek culture. Remaking the play in the context of World War II France, Anouilh focused more on the issues of integrity and political freedom. Disinterested in the notion of human rebellion again divine principle (which was Sophocles' preoccupation), Anouilh focused on the heroism of individual courage. 5 pgs. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

4317 The Ironic Juxtaposition of war and domesticity in Homer's "Odyssey". In book 22 of the Odyssey, the primary setting is of a domestic and pastoral nature. Thus, the violence and carnage that takes place in the midst of this landscape is highly incongruous and creates a sense of profound irony in Homer's work. This theme can be seen in Odysseus' slaying of Antinoös and Eurymachos, as well as in the final tender scene between Odysseus and the serving women. 3 pgs. Bibliography lists 1 source.
