O: Kreon here emphasizes the supremacy of law and the state, placing loyalty to the state above family and personal emotions. He believes that anyone who prioritizes family or friends over the interests of the state is useless, which reflects the conflict between power and personal morality. At the same time, this also indicates that Antigone and Kreon will have conflicts due to different values.

Familiar names are juxtaposed with the less familiar and the newly emergent; realistic, accessible works are juxtaposed with the bizarre and perhaps unstageable
O: I notice that this collection of plays puts really different kinds of theater side by side. Some are realistic and easy to imagine on stage, while others are described as "bizarre" or "unstageable." I think the editor wants to show how theater can be both normal and really strange at the same time. This contrast makes me believe that theater should bring us surprises, rather than merely telling simple stories.
