In a modern reimagining of Antigone, Jennifer Franklin explores themes of filial devotion and gendered labor through a fierce protagonist unafraid to confront political and personal injustices. The narrative juxtaposes the ancient ruins of Pompeii with contemporary issues like bodily autonomy, highlighting the urgent stakes of today's societal struggles. Franklin's Antigone embodies self-sacrifice for her disabled daughter and her art, navigating a world where judgment often misaligns with truth. Despite feeling invisible, she persists in her voice and creativity.
