Antigone in the Process of Blogging

Angry Antigone blogging

The picture above drawn by Erin Engels, shows Antigone screaming at her computer screen while reading comments generated by Creon. This would be Antigone’s inner animus showing that she is afraid of being unable to successfully challenge Creon. Antigone is angered because Creon is responding to her posts in an assertive and ruling way. Her inner animus is being expressed because she is getting angry due to the fact that Creon is challenging her. Since she is living in a society where women are meant to be submissive to men, her inner animus shows her lack of power and control. So, Antigone is getting angry at the computer and by extension, Creon.This would then relate to her archetype of the orphan. Since Antigone lost her family at a young age, Creon is acting, unintentionally, as her father. This is angering Antigone because she feels that no one will ever truly feel that way that a father would about her. (LV & KJ).
