Tragic heroine skedaddled after protester (8)
I believe the answer is:
antigone
'tragic heroine' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'skedaddled after protester' is the wordplay.
'skedaddled' becomes 'gone' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'protester' becomes 'anti' (I've seen this in another clue).
'gone' put after 'anti' is 'ANTIGONE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for antigone that I've seen before include "Greek drama" , "Tragedy by Sophocles" , "Greek play" , "Jocasta's daughter" , "Make drama" .)
