Title: : Compose a dialogue between Sophocles and Brecht
Paper instructions: ATTACHED
Hints: How would Sophocles have responded to Brecht’s reworking of his masterpiece? Why does Brecht turn to Sophocles’ ‘Antigone’ to comment on contemporary politics? How does Brecht’s conception of myth differ from that of Sophocles? Address these issues in the form of an imaginary dialogic exchange between Brecht and Sophocles (1000 words approx.).
