Beschreibungen/Notizen

• We, contemporary readers of the attic tragedy, with difficult, we perceive the nascent critic to the individual ideals that are alienated in the expressed democracy, to sympathize, rather, excited with the heroes whose elections and specially how they confront it -even at the expense of their own lives- should, we think, rise universal paradigms. How they face their loneliness an Antigone, and Oedipus or a Philoctetes, calls deeply our attention as a sign of capacity to discover the immensity of their inner world, especially when they feel abandoned to their own forces (Snell, 2007). But, from another perspective, Sophocles seems to problematize the rupture between the individual and the social group to make evident the excess that takes to the willing of living like Apopolis, disaggregated of the community. It comments a lot about the Sophocles’ strength scenic theater and his evident capacity to exhibit the show of an existence that is debated among this rupture, which express, with the bodily prostration of the man, the socio-political exclusion and even ethic that suffers or will suffer. However, the domain of the scenic technique, this does not seem enough to understand why is it experienced so much closeness with the drama of the Sophoclean heroes.
