• Was its creation influenced by any specific historical events?
There was a lot of tension when Antigone was being made in Greece 441BC between Athens and Sparta this soon then led to the Peloponnesian war. This led to tension being created within the play of Antigone which is shown with Creon and Antigone having their different perspectives of Creon believing in a world of following what’s politically right whereas Antigone wants to follow the heart and do what feels right for her, bury her brother Polynices properly to show respect.
