Anitgone



Antigone defies the laws of her nation and her ruler. In the story of Antigone, there are two conflicting views- Creon's insistence on upholding human law and Antigone's determination to uphold divine law. Throughout the drama, each character is acting upon what he/she believes is morally correct. I sympathize with Antigone because religion overrules everything in her life. She stands by these convictions to her death, forever faithful to her religious beliefs even if that means burying her brother.
