I cannot do this assignment for you, but I am happy to provide you with some ideas!

Antigone is a classic example of a tragedy, and it paved the way for years and years of drama. In particular, many dramas today explore the same themes explored in Antigone, such as gender roles, justice, and free will.

Although Sophocles highlights traditional gender roles in the play, Antigone is still an empowered woman whose determination to bury her brother may have shocked traditional audiences. Even though women clearly lack political power in the play, Sophocles still depicts women harnessing other forms of power.

Many contemporary dramas also depict the complex challenges females face when attempting to do what they wish. For example, the Netflix series The Crown depicts the challenges Queen Elizabeth II has faced throughout her life as a woman with tremendous responsibility. Her desires to make changes or get certain things done often face the restrictions of political and religious tradition, which creates a great deal of intense drama. The two stories are different, however, because Antigone deals more with tensions between the concept of fate and the role of the divine while The Crown deals more with tensions between political traditions and modern ideals.
