← The young man who is talking with pretty, happy, blonde Ismene is Haemon, the son of Creon. 🔊✎
← You've got a happy life in front of you, you just need to take it. You're engaged, you're young, you're beautiful... 🔊✎
← Get married soon, Antigone, be happy. Life isn't what you think. It's like water which young people let run through their fingers, without thinking. Quick, close your hands, close your hands. Keep it there. 🔊✎
← What will it be, my happiness? What kind of happy woman is little Antigone going to become? What miserable things is she going to have to do, her as well, so that she can gnaw out her little morsel of happiness? Tell me, who's she going to lie to, who's she going to smile at, who's she going to sell herself to? Who's she going to let die while she looks the other way? 🔊✎
← No, I won't be quiet! I want to know what I need to do to be happy. Right now, because I need to choose right now. You say life is so beautiful. I want to know what I'll need to do to live. 🔊✎
← You just have to accept it, Haemon. Everyone has a day, sad or happy, now or later, when he has to accept that he's a man. For you, that day is today. 🔊✎
← All the care you took of me, all your pride, all those books full of heroes, that was to get here? To be a man, like you say, and happy to be alive? 🔊✎
