Isn't it oversimplifying a bit to say that Antigone represents the heroic resistance, and Creon the villainous collaborators? Creon is portrayed rather sympathetically, I think, perhaps more so than in Sophocles' original. And Antigone is arguably a whiny brat. The Germans let it be staged for a reason - it's arguably pro-collaboration, I think, if we are to take the metaphors in that manner. john k 17:57, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
