E: I had to look up what she meant by "My soul died long ago" and it means that she had an emotional detachment from this world and she has already lost everything. This can explain why she does not fear death.

O: Antigone sees her own death, not as a punishment, but as her religious duty for her brothers. She wants the gods over the state laws and Kreon. This has come up multiple times where she mentions death and it's almost like she's actively wanting it. This also will (probably) come up again when she dies(Dr. Callaghan said she dies it's not a spoiler) and also a reason why she seeks death.

O: This shows hoe Kreon is feared by the public and how he is driven by power

Q: this is a common English phrase, why did Carson add it or was there something similar in ancient Greece?

Q: is this sharing with the audience how terrifying Kreon is or is this just humorous?

O: she makes death seem less of a punishment and more of a place of reunion. This shows her relationship with death and contrasts with Ismene in where she clings to life.

E: alluding to the history of incest between their father. This shows why Ismene feels that their family is cursed

E: Saying "may not contain spoken language at all" suggest that there are other ways to portray complex situations, such as: gestures, timing, silence, etc... This highlights that theatre is experienced through what is seen and felt and that there are more ways to communicate other than talking.
