A review by jade_courtney
Antigone, Oedipus the King and Electra by Sophocles
4.0
So glad to have finally read this cover to cover!
Antigone: (a reread) Easily my favourite. It's so layered and the relationships and themes so complex! (5 stars)
Oedipus the King: This feels almost a little clumsy in the COPIOUS amounts of irony, but I do agree that it is a great work and a story that I'm glad I have finally read. (4 stars)
Electra: This was my east favourite of the three but I still really enjoyed it and agree it's complex/clever. It was just hard for me because since reading Pandora's Jar by Natalie Haynes. I have so much respect for Clytemnestra. Hoping to read the Oresteia soon to further my knowledge/opinions. (3-4 stars)
