Even though they broke the law, it was still the right thing to do in their opinion. Antigone and her sister have lost both of their brothers in the same hour. Creon gives brother Eteocles military honors with a soldier’s funeral, but the other brother Polyneices, was not given a burial and Creon said he is not aloud to have one.

    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.…

    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”. She tells Creon that his law was not a wise one, one that no god would ever make.…

    Two major themes that run throughout Sophocles’ play Antigone are loyalty and power. Loyalty and power are what drive the play forward; this theme affects not only Antigone, but Creon as well. Both Antigone and Creon are affected by this conflict, but in different ways. Antigone is first introduced to us as a young and loyal girl to bother her brother and the gods, that only wants to make sure both her brothers have a proper burial; according to the laws placed by the gods if someone does not receive a burial there will be no way for family members to reconnect with them in their life after death. Creon, who is the king and Antigone’s uncle, sets a law in place that no one is to bury or even mourn the death of Polynices.…

    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.…

    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. It is during this speech that Creon says, “His brother Polynices, / who came back from exile intending to burn and destroy / his fatherland … He is to have no grave, no burial, / no mourning from anyone; it is forbidden” (Sophocles 131). Even though Creon has just forbidden anyone from burying Polynices, Antigone is planning on doing it anyway.…

    On the contrary, human law, or “Law of Man”, chronicles a set of rules of behavior that rule a country and are carried out by a set of punishments and is a more fleeting concept. In Antigone, it is evident that the everlasting divine law is valued more highly over the ever-changing human law. Amidst the play, the newly crowned king Creon…

    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.…

    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).…

    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.…
