Raymond Williams enlarges the scope of the tragic by casting away George Steiner's proclivity for generalizing the particular and specialized expression of tragic experience, and by taking into consideration the transformation and complexity of modern society. According to Williams, tragedy stands for a loss of connection between a work and a city as well as men and women. The present paper then focuses on how to make connections (i) between the individual and the social/family and state; (ii) between man and gods; (iii) between the law of the land and the law of gods; (iiii) between man and woman in Sophocles' Antigone. Through the analysis of Antigone, Williams' problematic and his theoretical perspectives find their way to live on.
