    A rule is a set of explicit or understood regulations or principles, governing conduct within a particular activity or sphere. Rules are necessary to maintain peace and order in a society. Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, and Antigone, a play by Sophocles, portray events in which rules in societies may be rightly imposed or broken under certain circumstances. In Fahrenheit 451, a futuristic society has assigned firemen to burn books in order to rewrite history, and a naive adolescent attempts to uncover the truth behind it. In Antigone, a king has denied the right for a woman to bury her brother, and she seeks help from her sister.…

    When it comes to the notions of the law in Sophocles’ Antigone, most of us will readily agree that there were many contrasting beliefs among the characters. However, where this agreement usually ends is on the question of whether the law of the divine or the law of man is superior. The many instances in which the law of the divine and the law of man clash in Sophocles’ Antigone, and the many instances in which the laws of the gods are disobeyed in Homer’s the Odyssey suggest that the law of the divine always prevails above all else. To begin with, in Sophocles’ Antigone, religion and the state are not necessarily in alignment and are often contradicting each other.…

    In Sophocles play, Antigone, Creon’s choices demonstrate his qualities of a poor leader, choices that lead to the downfall of others. Creon’s first decision to prohibit anyone from burying the dead body of Polyneices causes conflict with his niece, Antigone. Antigone does not deny that she buried her brother and tells Creon,”It was not God’s proclamation. That final justice that rules the world below makes no such laws”.

    Antigone decided to defy the law and make it apparent that she wasn't one to be pushed around, especially since she was apart of the royal family. Although it is evident she isn’t looking for a position on the throne, she does want the power to bury her own brother. It was a simple task, but because Creon saw it as an act of portrayal, Antigone saw this as an opportunity to show how much power she really has. She buried her brother and it ultimately cost her her life but she says “ I am not afraid of the danger; if it means death, It will not be the worst of deaths--death without honor.”…

    The punishment for disobeying the decree was death. However, Antigone saw Creon ’s decree as an abuse of his power and as an infringement on the laws of the gods. Antigone, who placed god’s laws above all else, disregarded King Creon’s law and buried her brother, Polyneices. Antigone’s bravery is summed up when she says, “But I will bury him; and if I must die, I say that this crime is holy” (Sophocles 694).…

    After all, he was undoubtedly guilty of treason, for he had assembled an army to attack our city. Despite having said that, Creon, under any circumstances, has no authority to forbid the burial of Polyneices, or for that matter, any of the dead. In addition, although Antigone should be disciplined for her stubbornness and refusal to abide by Creon’s orders, such harsh punishment was simply unreasonable and unnecessary, especially when considering she did the bare minimum to ensure brother’s soul would rest in peace. Furthermore, our elders have looked to Creon to direct our city into a new beginning. And as our king, Creon has pledged to keep Thebes safe and to protect the citizens he regards as his subjects.…

    Secondly, laws may be unjust through being opposed to divine good; such are the laws of tyrants inducing to idolatry or anything else to contrary to divine law.” By examining the events in Antigone and focusing our attention on the law created by Creon, Antigone had to oppose Creon’s law in order to uphold truth, justice and virtue, she is the “eternal heroine of natural law.” Utilizing both theories presented by Aquinas in regards to eternal law and the conditions of a human law being just or unjust and applying it to the decree set forth by Creon we see that he does not have the common good as its end. It is in fact a burdensome law imposed by an authority who exceeded their power and was not in accordance with eternal law. Antigone is justified in breaking the law to bring justice and honor to her dead brother Polyneices and her family.…

    When the laws are broken, what of his city then” (Sophocles 295). Laws unite cities and keep people safe, but breaking them can destroy the “law and order.” Antigone is not breaking the law, but she is going against the King’s orders. Laws should not be broken because that undermines the purpose of them. Laws habitually broken give no meaning to the law.…

    The law political law Creon set in place goes directly against the law of the gods. It is Creon’s pride and power and the loyalty of his son Haemon to Antigone that causes Creon grief. Antigone goes against Creon’s law, which ultimately leads to the tragic ending. As the play progresses we see how both Antigone and Creon’s decisions have devastating consequences.

    Nobody encourages her to defy Creon’s orders and provide a proper burial for her brother, but rather, it is a decision that results from Antigone acting in accordance with her free will. When Ismene tries to convince Antigone that burying Polynices is not worth the risk and punishment of death, Antigone replies, “You have your excuses. I am on my way / I will raise a mound for him, for my dear brother” (Antigone 94-95). In this instance, Antigone is effectively taking a stand for what she believes in as she values family ties and loyalty as well as the virtue of courage.…

    Creon, as the King of Thebes, made the decision that no one was to bury Polynices. He makes this decision while he is talking to his councilors about how Polynices was a traitor and disgrace to Thebes.

Even though Creon has just forbidden anyone from burying Polynices, Antigone is planning on doing it anyway.…

    Antigone, the protagonist and namesake of the play by Sophocles, is a courageous and ambitious character for unapologetically breaking laws of the city to do what she sees is right. Both of Antigone's brothers Eteocles and Polyneices have died in a war against each other, but only Eteocles is given a proper burial by the King. Antigone believes a burial is essential for someone to find peace after death, so she is reasonably upset. She decides that if no one else will do it, she will bury Polyneices herself. At the very beginning of the play, Antigone asks her sister Ismene to help carry out the plan.…
