The link between these plays is the role of women and could be described as proto-feminist. "Antigone" shows us a woman who is prepared to go against the rule of the city and Creon, whom should be the dominant male in the play.

Carol Ann Duffy is well known as a feminist writer and her 1999 collection, "The World Wife" is an original collection in which she explores the view of the wives of historical, biblical and mythological men and gives the reader a chance to see the great tales concerning these men through the eyes of the woman, who is often shown to be much more strength in character than her husband or partner. After studying the poems, our group decided to base our five female characters on poems in the play, these poems being "Delilah", "Mrs Faust", "Mrs Midas", "Salmone" and "Mrs Lazarus". Using these as guidelines for our characters, the five girls in our group were able to elaborate on then, using the techniques of our practitioner, Stanisvlaski, to create a full character from the narrative in our selected poems.
Caryl Churchill's play "Top Girls" was also an influence on us. The play "Top Girls" shows the audience famous women from the past having a dinner party together and discussing their experiences to...
