Antigone jornal #4: 1940s and new version

after looking it up, i found out that jean anouilh is french. this version of medea was also writen in WWII(1940s), which should have a great impact on the events in the book. the first thing that i thought about(before reading) is that it would go more in depth with feminism, because of the role reversal that took place during WWII when women had to take mens jobs since they were off fighting war. this could still happen, but it doesnt seem as relevent as i thought it would be. a key thing about the french during WWII was that they were almost immediatly taken over by germany, and controlled. this could influance the play by making the charicters more good vs evil exagerated, emphasizing conflicts, or making creon look like an evil person who takes over the lives of the people of thebes (like hitler taking over the french). There is also a HUGE difference in language and style that could be influanced by the time period itself.
