Antigone journal- words/ideas

• Anouilh uses the word Holocaust to describe the battlefield on which Polynices and Eteocles are found dead. This strikes me as interesting because of the obvious associations of the word Holocaust, as well as its very morbid nature. I also think it is a somewhat unusual word to use in describing a battlefield where to noble young princes have died- the word is quite morbid and devoid of any connotation with nobility, honor, or bravery. I also cannot help but wonder, that owing to the era in which it was written, if it is a reference to the actual genocide of the same name.
• Happiness is a very ambiguous term used quite frequently by Anouilh. It is uses especially often in the dialougue between Creon and Antigone. It is important because the desire to find happiness is universal, and the unspecified meaning of the word happiness reaches out to all people.
