young

Another thing that she is thinking is this: she is going to die. Antigone is young. She would much rather live than die. 🔊

And as soon as the curtain goes up, she feels that she is moving away at breakneck speed from her sister Ismene, who's chatting and laughing with a young man, from all of us, who are sitting here safely watching her, from all of us who don't have to die this evening. 🔊

The young man who is talking with pretty, happy, blonde Ismene is Haemon, the son of Creon. 🔊

The old lady who's knitting next to the nurse who raised the two young girls is Eurydice, Creon's wife. 🔊

Creon is alone. Alone with his little page who is too young and who anyway couldn't help him either. 🔊

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... 🔊

Release that young woman. What is this? 🔊

It's strange. I've often imagined it, this dialogue with a pale young man who's tried to kill me, that I can't get to show any emotion but contempt. But I never thought it would be with you, and for something so stupid... 🔊

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. 🔊

Yes, I love Haemon. I love a Haemon who's strong and young, a Haemon who's demanding and faithful, like I am. 🔊
