idea

Antigone! Please, I'm begging you! It's alright for men to believe in ideas and die for them. You're a girl. 🔊

If you keep quiet, if you give up this crazy idea, I have a chance to save you, but it'll be gone five minutes from now. Do you understand that? 🔊

Do you really believe in this burial according to the rites? This idea that your brother's spirit will be condemned to wander forever if you don't throw a bit of dirt on the corpse and say the right words? 🔊

Well yes, I am frightened by the idea that I'm going to have to kill you if you carry on like this. I don't want to. 🔊

But now, it's over. And they are fine all the same. All the people who were going to die are dead. Those who believed one thing, and those who believed the opposite, and even the ones who didn't believe anything and just found themselves caught up in the story without any idea of what was happening. All equally dead, all of them, stiff and useless and starting to rot. 🔊
