Why Is Antigone Wrong

Decent Essays
In Antigone by Sophocles, Antigone did the right thing burying her brother. Although some may say that Antigone did the wrong thing because Antigone could had followed the rules because Creon is the leader, and she should had followed what he said. Antigone did break the law, but she stood up for her beliefs. She protected her family, and wanted to give her brother a good eternal life. One example from the text is when Antigone says she wants her brother to have a good afterlife (20-25). Antigone knows she is breaking the law of the land but she wants to stand up for what she believes it. She also knows not many people will agree with her but she wants to make sure polyneices has a great eternal life. A second example from the text is Antigone

    Justice In Antigone Analysis

    Santirocco, author of “Justice in Sophocles’ Antigone,” states, “ [Antigone and Creon are a lot alike] both are isolated, both are stubborn, both respond to others, including those who love them, in the same imperious way, and both doom themself and others by their actions. The greatest similarity, though, lies in their pursuit of justice” (186). Antigone knows from the beginning what her morals are, which are steering her actions. She felt she was on the side of justice for what she did, and leaving her brother out to rot in her eyes was unjust. Antigone knew the punishment that lied ahead, but because her love and relationship with her brother was strong she was unconcerned of the consequence.…

    Eternal Law In Antigone

    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.…

    Socrates and Antigone vs. the Law The proclivity for people to challenge the law has been a topic of discussion for thousands of years. In Plato’s Crito, Greek Philosopher Socrates explains his point of view on the subject in which he chooses to abide by the law, even if he knows that he will be executed. Antigone, a main character from Sophocles’ play of the same name, contradicts Socrates’ ideas and clarifies her belief that one should rebel against authority according to their own justice.…

    In this story, Antigone shows the most ‘unshakable will power’ out of all the characters. She is the character who provides the most will power because she is willing to do the right thing even if it means breaking a law. Antigone’s will power really emerges more than the other characters. Without even telling the king, she buries her brother to honor him and once the king finds out, she defends herself to the point where she could have been sentenced to death. Ismene says to Antigone, “Bury him!…

    She believes that the law of the gods is superior to any other law, even though Creon, the new king of Thebes, orders that Polyneices body is not to be buried as punishment for his wrongdoings. Antigone knew that by burying her brother, she would be put to death, yet she felt so strongly about doing the right thing in the eyes of the gods that she had to go and bury her brother anyway (Sophocles 37). Antigone’s civil disobedience of the law is very direct. Instead of trying to protest the unfair treatment of Polyneices’ body and get together a group of people to try and get the law to be changed, she favors direct action and does the burial ritual as well as covering the body with dirt against the rules of king Creon. It is not only the rules of the gods that influences Antigone’s civil disobedience, but also her brotherly love for Polyneices.…
