Antigone, Oedipus the King and Electra

4.25/5 Stars
These were all awesome!
I've read Antigone and Oedipus the King before, but I loved revisiting them again, and have them still be as good as I once remembered back in school. I never read Electra before, so I was hesitant, but still excited to get into it. And thank the gods I did because it was better than I expected!
My favourite of the plays is probably Oedipus the King. It has the most exciting plot, and biggest plot-twist out of any of them. Super engaging! (albeit the twist is gross and messed up).
Electra was my next favourite. Electra was such a compelling character, and she had a real complicated relationship with her sister that I loved witnessing as the plot grew. And it also has a (sort of) happy ending! We never see those!
Antigone is still absolutely great! I think Antigone might be one of my favourite characters. The plot of the play isn't my absolute fave, nor is it too exciting, but we do get some great interactions with Creon, Antigone, and Ismene.
Definitely go and check out these plays. The Oxford World's Classics edition was so accessible! Highly recommend.
