Abstract

Antigone and Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry are two forms of works from drastically different time periods. However, they share a similar subject: that of the individual’s rebellion against the state. The following paper considers the two different lenses through which this idea is explored in each work, and what effect each can achieve.

Keywords

World view, Free speech, Justice
