How does Anouilh’s Antigone—especially his heroine—relate to these different portrayals of women in French culture? Why does he deliberately challenge the idea of quiet, obedient womanhood the government was advocating? Does this reveal something about Anouilh’s political and social views?

Antigone

Part One: Changing Views of Women in France:

Joan of Arc (1412-1431) has long been a national heroine, even before she was officially declared a saint in 1920. For her fellow French countrymen, she’s long been associated with holiness, courage, and patriotism.

During the French Revolution in the 1790’s, the new French Republic developed a key feminine symbol. In honor of the women who stormed the Bastille and helped spearhead the revolution, Marianne became a personification of Reason and Liberty, and like the Republic itself, she promised a new era of gender equity.

But Vichy France, like the Nazis who wielded real influence, was uncomfortable with these strong portrayals of femininity. Images of Marianne were removed from coins and government buildings. Instead, conservatives moved to replace Marianne with a watered-down version of Joan of Arc. In the Vichy-sanctioned re-telling of her story, Joan is portrayed as an obedient, frail young girl who loved France; there was no mention of her military prowess or ability to lead thousands of soldiers from both peasant and aristocratic classes.

In a thoughtful brief essay of around 250 words, consider the following:

How does Anouilh’s Antigone—especially his heroine—relate to these different portrayals of women in French culture? Why does he deliberately challenge the idea of quiet, obedient womanhood the government was advocating? Does this reveal something about Anouilh’s political and social views?

 

Part Two: Some Selected Figures from Occupied France:

Look up each of the following men; consider their ideologies, values, and politics. Then, choose one who seems most intriguing. Imagine he has just returned from the premiere of Anouilh’s Antigone. How would he react to the play? Which characters would he support or condemn? What would your figure think of Creon’s use of power? What would he make of Anouilh’s politics? What steps might he try to take to reward or condemn the playwright?

Write this up in about 250 words, and be sure to include specific details.

  • Phillipe Pétain
  • Charles de Gaulle
  • René Bosquet
  • Emmanuel Célestin Suhard

Personal Belief

TOPIC CHOICE:

Be specific. Take your belief out of the ether and ground it in events that have shaped your core values. Consider moments when belief was formed or tested or changed. Think of your own experience, work, and family, and tell of the things you know that no one else does. Your EXAMPLES don’t have to be heart-warming or gut-wrenching. They can even be funny, BUT it should be real. Make sure your EXAMPLES tie to the essence of your daily life philosophy and the shaping of your beliefs. Name your belief: If you can’t name it in a sentence or two, your essay might not be about belief. Focus on one core belief. (For example, my sample essay on the content page is about my belief that reading is beneficial with three examples of those benefits.) Be positive: Write about what you do believe, not what you don’t believe. Avoid statements of religious dogma. Be personal: Make your essay about you; speak in the first person. Avoid using “you” because “you” is referring to the reader.

OBJECTIVES:

Write at least a 500-word essay, which will count 10% of overall grade, and will focus on the following:

a. Creating a powerful lead-in that draws the reader’s attention and relates to the essay topic.

b. Establishing a strong thesis statement that explains the writer’s argument and the point of this essay without producing an essay map.

c. Developing at least three body paragraphs (each establishing one idea about the thesis) and displaying at least ten sentences of support, including facts, concrete examples, action verbs, descriptive adjectives and adverbs, and specific details.

d. Providing an essay free of all red-flag errors: fragments, comma splices, run-on sentences, use of 2nd person “you,” subject/verb agreement errors, and spelling errors.

e. Proving to the reader what you believe and why
