The Tragic Figure of Antigone When people recall tragedies‚ they often think Shakespearean.

There are even some parts of the new musical pieces

He wrote many different influential plays‚ but Oedipus Rex and Antigone held the trophy for most significant.

Another of Aeschylus’ trademarks is the propensity for “writing connected trilogies‚ in which each play serves as a chapter in a continuous dramatic narrative.” (Wikipedia) He was most likely the first playwright to present a trilogy and Oresteia‚ the first play in the trilogy‚ Agamemnon‚ and probably his most respected work‚ provides an insight into his ideals of righteousness and leniency‚ and his belief that humanity can
