In Sophocles’ play “Antigone,” a conflict grows between Antigone and Creon. A conflict between Creon and Antigone emerges when Antigone is caught by a sentry and is brought to Creon, with Creon saying, “And you Antigone.” The conflict emerges with Creon stating “And yet you dared to defy the law.” and Antigone retorting “I dared. It was not God’s proclamation. That final justice that rules the world below makes no such laws.” (pg 733; line 56) This shows the start of the conflict because Creon had made a law saying that no-one shall bury Polyneices, but Antigone defied that law, putting her in this position. In addition, Creon begins to become enraged with Antigone over whether she should have buried him or not, saying, “An enemy, even dead.”
