Problems.. and a few solutions i hope..

PROBLEM 1-
One of the first problems that i faced was in trying to determine who won the battle between the law of the Gods vs the laws put down by men...I decided that Gods laws were more appealing.. and held more truth and hope than the law of one lone King...

SOi managed to come up with the stand that i was going to take... Antigone was innocent, falsely accused, everyone said so except for the arrogant King.. even the Gods were on Antigone's side! So all i have to do now is to get the audience to sympathize with her! (yeah.. Thats ALL, HA thats NOTHING!!! (note the tone of near lunacy))

PROBLEM 2-
Where does she perform this mono? to the people, in the cave by herself? Just before she is thrown in?Somehow, i didn't feel or see the mono being performed out in the open to the general public.. I though that this was a private moment for Antigone, she being a strong woman, it is here that we see her finally break down and reveal her most vulnerable side to the audience.. yet, we see her nature kick in, as she tries to stay positive, calm and cool.. but she fails... So i thought the cave or something about it would be a good thing or rather, a good instigator to her fears, and she finally breaks down.

PROBLEM 3-
Does she hang herself in the end?When i first read the monologue, i did not believe that there was enough content there for her to want to hang herself. She ends on an angry frustrated tone, and it would have definitely taken her sometime to calm down... face reality and then hang herself.. and i DO NOT have that kind of time for my mono.. Also, its a cave for crying out loud! Where does one find a hole to hoop the cloth through?
SO... i decided not to hang myselfINSTEAD... I'm now thinking of ending off with suspense in the air... with me just looking at my dress (cloth), and then touching my neck in a state of a mad trance, as if the rope is speaking to me, saying here i am, kill yourself with this now..

PROBLEM 4-

It's a GREEK play... with old English.. and stuff about the God's, and bringing glory and honor to the family name! How in the world do i get my character to relate to what these youths my age are feeling?Yes, i can use emotions.. true.. but will that really get them to understand and feel it? or merely see it and say oh ok so she is sad.Yeah.. maybe the emotions can.. but they come about BECAUSE of the content.. doesn't the content have to be understood in order to be mourned? (i hope im making sense..
PROBLEM UNRESOLVED!
