This study focuses on modern Antigones’ ordeals and sufferings caused by the irrationality and partiality of laws in Antigone Project. It also examines their continuing efforts and struggles against the suppression and unjustice in modern democratic societies. Five plays included in the work were written by 5 female playwrights. In the work, Antigone symbolizes a conscientious fighter as well as a person excluded from public areas by power and laws. Each playwright commonly thinks that the modern Antigones’ efforts toward peace or justice are in crisis more severely in the process of ‘the war against terrorism’ due to the leaders’ hysteric reaction and the suppression of governmental authorities in democratic countries since the 9/11 terror. They also think that reviving Antigone is needed because she acts against the unjust reality, and is willing to sacrifice herself for defending human rights and dignities. This is why the work uses the motif of revival. When Antigone rises again, she does not adjust herself to her fate, but continues struggles to change the society, as the hope and potential for a new history are achievable. Moreover, she invites people to take part in her efforts to stop injustice and suppression under modern democratic countries.
