The 1940s in Europe were mostly centered around WWII. This could have greatly influenced Anouilh in writing Antigone because he was also French and were facing a great amount of pain and suffering. He probably went through a lot of hard times that influenced the way that he wrote the play and how he may have depicted the different circumstances in Antigone. He might have used the circumstances in the war to interpret his version of Antigone.
