In Antigone by Sophocles, Antigone and Creon are in an arguement about their beliefs, ANtigone in the GOd's and Creon on his own law on the State. Antigone wants to bury her brother Polyneices and give him an honorable buriel and Creon doesn't want to becuase he went agains't him. Little dothey know their own actions will be the cause of a big disaster.
Antigone is a loud person who is independent and does her own thing she doesn't listen and just believes in what she believes and know's is right. She's loyal to her family, wanting to bury Polyneices even after he went agains't his own family to try and win the kingdom but he is still her brother no matter what she loves him. She say's "But I will bury him: and if i must die, I say this crime is holy."(prologe. 57.58). Antigoneis also loyal to the god's, She say's "You may do as you like since apparently the law of the gods means nothing to you."( prologe. 64,65). No Matter what Antigone stay's true to the god's.
Creon on the other hand is willing to do anything so that people can follow his rules. Creon is loyal to the state. He say's "The state is the only one i believe in." Creon'snot loyal to his family becuase he's sayong he is only gnna believe impn the state and he will go with nothing else.
Antigone and Creon also have there similarities like pride and the same blood there also very determined in what they do. An example of Antigone showing pride would be when she say's "Creon isn't strong enough to stand in my way." (prologe.36). She is saying that noone can stop her from doing what she know's is right witch is burying her brother Polyneices.
Creon show's pride He say's "My voice is the only voice giving orders in this city." (3.108). He's basically saying noone else can rule but him he's the one being hear noone else so everyone has to listen to him and do what he want's.
All in all, both Antigone and Creon deserve blame, They both did something wrong such as Antigone not allowing Ismene to follow up on the punishment Creon wanted to give the,
M both and Creon not wanting to bury Polyneices he should have just gave them both a proper buriel, they might of gone agains't eachother but at the end there both brothers and his own blood closer than he thinks. But this resulted in Antigon's death and Creons Lose of family.
THE END !!!!!
