And if Antigone’s stance can be seen in the context of ‘aesthetic fascism’, there is in the play li le comfort for actual fascism as a historical political movement. An unequivocally collaborationist reading is as impossible as an unequivocally pro-Resistance one. ough Antigone comes to doubt her de- cision at the very last moment, Creon’s own last words pay tribute to her victory.

Saint-Jean (Canada), and Associate French Editor of Theatre Research in. e central confrontation in which Creon a empts to save his niece is a contest of strength in which he is the loser, an outcome which demonstrates both the limits of power and the possibility of resistance. Anouilh translated by Barbara Bray (2000). e play’s nihilism, however, encompasses not only Antigone’s apparently gratuitous and pointless death, but also the sordid cynicism of Creon’s brutal regime. e la er support an interpretation in which Creon’s necessary maintenance of order is balanced by the ‘purity’ and ‘grandeur’ of Antigone’s de ance, keywords of a movement that has been labelled ‘aesthetic fascism’. For some, Anouilh’s play presented an occasion for celebrat- ing the Resistance, but the initial production’s sole review in the under- ground press was deeply hostile, by contrast with many positive reviews in the collaborationist press. Jean Anouilh’s Antigone has divided audiences since its rst performance in 1944.
