Anouilh moved away from the dominant elements of modern theater, Realism and Naturalism, in favor of more artistic concerns. His plays employ some of the elements of the Shakespearean theater, including the use of flash forwards and flash backs, as well as the "play within a play" technique.
In his earlier works, he examined the relationship of the individual in modern society and the conflict between individual desires and social concerns. His updated treatment of Antigone represents the extreme element of the individual who will not bend to social pressure and who pays a heavy price for her stubbornness.
