Conflicting Perspectives In Antigone By Sophocles

Decent Essays
The play Antigone by Sophocles presents a case of the conflicting perspectives between the protagonist and the antagonist. The contrasting notions are evident regarding religion, duty, country and family. The contrasting views are occasioned by the sense of pride among the characters who believe their stance to be right as compared to the attitude of the other. However, the play partly promotes some of the conflicting perspectives while it also leaves the audience to choose on the stances to promote. To enable the reader to make a decision, it is observable that the perspectives taken by the two characters have dire consequents.

    What can we define a decision as? A decision can be defined as a determination arrived at after consideration between a conflict that a person(s) are having (“Decision”). This means that, after you are faced with a decision, picking between at least two things or ideas, you have to decide on what you think is right, and that turns into your decision.

    A common argument against mine is that there actually was no relationship between gender and ancient Greek suicide, held by scholars: L. Lykouras, E. Poulakou-Rebelakou, C. Tsiamis, and D. Ploumpidis. In 399 BC, Socrates consumed a lethal dose of hemlock as a result of imprisonment by the Athenians for failing to recognize the gods and corrupting the youth through imparting knowledge deemed as necromancy by the Athenian state. He was convicted by the states, forced to commit suicide, and hailed as a hero by all, except the state and state supporters, for not backing down from his ideology. A similar case can be seen in Antigone by Sophocles, written around 441 BC.…

    “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely” said historian Lord Acton. In Sophocles’ Antigone, Oedipus the King of Thebes has newly departed after disgracing his people, and his successors to the throne Polynices and Eteocles have died in battle, leaving his brother Creon to inherit his throne. From the beginning, Creon uses his newfound power to impose excessive punishments against not only the innocent people of Thebes, but also his family. As a result, the people of Thebes recognize this abuse of power and express their fears through not only the chorus but also his son, whom he both chooses to disregard. Finally, Creon not only abuses the people of Thebes with his power, but also uses it to offend the Gods by intentionally breaking their divine laws.…
