that I feel are memorable to me is Antigone and Othello. They are memorable because they show how love can be a wonderful experience‚ but also how it can hurt you in so many different ways.

In order to understand how Bree Newsome echoes Antigone‚ one must first compare who they are vaguely. Both Bree and Antigone are of the same gender and attempt to prove women power. Women are not often portrayed as strong‚ but delicate. The time period that Antigone was written women were supposed to obey all rules. Antigone was not the woman that followed the law.
