The play Antigone is a bit odd because the royal family is intermarrying, & the king ends up getting killed and replaced by Creon. Antigone (Creon’s niece), hears that her brother won't get a burial, and the play spins off from there. This is a representation of right vs. right, Creon vs. Antigone with both sides equally justified. Although like all battles, only one will remain victorious, and it will be Antigone. Antigone will be the one who is ultimately right because she is paying her respects to the dead, Antigone is standing up for what is right, & Polyneices is her brother.

Antigone is upset, but she will bury him anyways. Antigone is strong in what she believes, and she won't let anyone opposing her bring her down. Creon eventually punishes her, but no matter what, Antigone will still believe in what's right. Antigone said: “What's going on here does not hurt me at all.

Antigone doesn't like how Creon is treating her brother, and that's why she’s upset. Antigone says: “look what Creon is doing with our two brothers! He’s honoring one with a full funeral and treating the other disgracefully! Eteocles has his burial rites, but an order has gone out that Polyneices won't have anything.”(25-37). Polyneices is her brother, and she won't let him go into the afterlife with his body rotting away. Creon is the king, but Antigone is closer to Polyneices than she is to Creon in all ways.
This play is a fight of right vs. right, with both sides equally justified. Creon and Antigone are both right, but in the end only one will remain. Antigone will be the last “man” standing because she is Polyneices brother, she’s paying respect to him, and she stands up for what's right. Antigone is the one that should be given the credit, the only thing Creon will get is sympathy for not having common
