Antigone offers several arguments that do not seem to be as valid as the other two. Honor and the fact that Pollenycius was her brother and was unreplacable. Antigone could have meant two things by her argument of Honor. Either she had honor because she followed the laws of the gods before the laws of man, or she had honor for disobeying Creon in his unjust humiliations of her family. In the first meaning she would be well justified in having this as her argument. In the second, she is not justified at all, honor's law is not higher than state law, and if this were her excuse it would have been better if she had allowed the humiliation to go on. The last argument I will bring up in this essay, is that Polenycius was her brother and irreplacable.
