Abstract: | In this comparative work, the similarities and differences between Salvador Espriu's Antigone and Jean Anouilh's work of the same name are investigated, considering above all, their literary and ideological aspects, but also their historical and social ones. First, the classic literary influences are studied 'Aeschylus, Euripides, Sophocles' and modern 'Valle-Inclán, Pirandello, Giraudoux, Brecht' from which both authors drink and thus understand their mutual convergences and divergences. A relevant point should be highlighted in this section, which is the study of the evident influence of Anouilh's Antigone on Espriu's Antigone. Next, the characters are compared, emphasizing the analysis of the main couple, Antigone and Creon, because they play a different role in the dramatic balance in both works. Secondary characters are also studied because they help define their structural and conceptual singularities. Finally, the representation of the myth is explained through the thought of both authors, taking into account the influence of the war and the political and ideological interpretation of both works. The result of the comparison is like Espriu's shattered mirror of truth, that is, polyhedral, contradictory and complex. Both tragedies refuse to express themselves with a single meaning, concrete and defined, and too local, to spread a manifestly universal and timeless message. Both Antigones are the genuine representation of the human conflicts that are repeated cyclically throughout history: they are the testimony of the collective tragedy of humanity, which is the fight against itself. |
