Eleven

A repetition of ideas is Antigone being referenced as "little Antigone" or another term that has her described as young. Anouilh really emphasizes the fact that Antigone is younger, and at least compared to Ismene. Here, Creon looks down at her as an "insect" (pg 34) I think that Anoulih does this so that Antigone can build up anger from that. She can have a reason to be more assertive, to show that she is not "poor little Antigone".

An ambiguous term that Anouilh uses is "want". Antigone mostly uses this word, and is used with what the characters want and don't want. It is also used for what the characters can and can't do. For me, I get from these terms, that the story has a lot to do with personal will and conflict within the characters themselves (aka: internal conflict).
