Anouilh Journal #1

During the 1940s, the major thing that might have affected Anouilh's version of Antigone is World War II. Which was going on before 1940 and after it. It was especially inspirational and bad for Anouilh becuase she was French, and France was hit the hardest during World War II. This most probably was a reason that affected the writing of his book and how he viewed the war, and also the heroes and enemys.
