Antigone

Antigone, by Sophocles, is a classic Romeo and Juliet story but it also has other themes. The main character, Antigone, takes a stand for what she believed in and knowingly risked her life doing so. Creon, the leader of Thebes, is faced with a decision that will cause him to put away his pride to make the right choice. Lastly, Hameon, Antigone's fiance and Creon's son, must persuade his father to spare Antigone's life. This play is great for a short read with twists in the plot that will keep you at the edge of your seat.
