Antigona/Antigone.

What's in a name?

In the Anouilh version, the Prologue says that we know from the start that she's meant to die and that it's always the same in a tragedy : you know that characters are in the hands of their own fate. Everything goes like a well-oiled machine.
Here are a few adaptations of the myth written by Sophocles , in 441 BC. Changing the scenery, the time but yet ever remaining faithful to the theme of determination and unwilligness to compromise whatever. Great tragedies never go out of style since their message is universal.
