Antigone , Eurydice , Haemon , and Teiresias defy Theban King Creon. The King wants those who betray Thebes to be left above ground and exposed to the elements, the dogs, …and the birds. But Antigone goes ahead and buries her traitorous brother, Polyneices. In a way, Queen Eurydice defies her royal husband, because she chooses to commit suicide rather than spend one more minute above ground as his wife. She knows that her husband takes great pride in his position as supposedly all-knowing father, husband and ruler. She cracks that facade when she shows the truth to their married life. Haemon defies his royal father by refusing to give up his cousin and bride-to-be, Antigone. King Creon claims that all women are replaceable. Haemon shows the truth to the royal family life when he commits suicide rather than end his betrothal to his beloved. And Teiresias the blind prophet defies his royal master by refusing to say what the King wants him to say. Teiresias points out what the King is doing wrong, and what the toll will be in royal terms.

One cannot defy fate. What is going to happen, happens and nothing can change that. If you have several different choices as to a course of action you may take, the choice you take is always the choice you take so really you didn't have any choice at all as you were never going to make any other choice, no matter how much you think you were. The future lies before us and nothing will change it. (MORE)
