If King Oedipus leaving behind a corpse with a gaping wound, Oedipus at Colonus acts as a reminder, a revelation, then with Antigone, over time, that corpse has bruised, somewhat decomposed, but the blood has not stopped leaking from the old wound, and people are still stabbing that corpse, many times, but the blood will no longer come out again. And there's a sense that, other than the characters, in the shared universe that includes, us and the gods, no one really cares. The work that ends a Trilogy evokes the feeling of an event that is no longer important, affirming a consequence that can no longer be changed, a feeling of regret and helplessness. Each scene of Antigone as a transparent layer of content that can be “read” over each other, to realize that the characters seem stuck in what they say, and what other people say. Like when Creon first talked about the two corpses of his two brothers of Antigone at the beginning of the play, he is talking about the deaths of his son and his wife on that same day. A manipulated fairness that is symmetrical and fast.

“When the two of them perished by a double fate,

in one day stabbing and being stabbed 

dirtying the other person's body with each other's weapons,(...)” - Creon

"As fast as possible.

The gods are not slow when they bring down their wrath on those who have gone astray.”Chorus
