Antigone: We begin in the dark and birth is the death of us. Ismene: Who said that? Antigone: Hegel. Ismene: Sounds more like Beckett. Antigone: He was paraphrasing Hegel. Ismene: I dont think so.
This dialogue between Antigone and her sister Ismene opens with the line, "I stand outside your door, the odd thing is, you stand your outside your too, that door has no inside." I believe this resonates with Judith Butlers book, "Antigones Claim: Kinship Between Life and Death." Additionally, I want to add an interpretation: Hegel believed that Kreon represents law, the city-state, public order, and political ideals, while Antigone represents divine law, family, and the private realm, thus creating a binary opposition between male and female, universality and individuality, defiance of prohibitions and family shame. Elizabeth Butler (Irigaray) refutes this view, arguing that gender difference theory at the time made it impossible for women to be subjects of consciousness and excluded them from the political sphere. Antigone only becomes an ethical exemplar by burying her brother (entering the public sphere).
