    I strongly agree with the statement “there is no literature without conflict”. It applies well to the play Antigone by Jean Anouilh. The most significant conflict exists between Antigone and Creon the king. Despite this major conflict‚ there is also another minor conflict between Antigone and Ismene.

    Anthem to Dead Youth What passing bells for you who die in herds? - Only the monstrous anger of the guns! - Only the stuttering rifles’ rattled words Can patter out your hasty orisons No chants for you‚ nor balms‚ nor wreaths‚ nor bells‚ Nor any voice of mourning‚ save the choirs‚ And long-drawn sighs of wailing shells; And bugles calling for you from sad shires.
