A thesaurus is mainly designed to give you words similar in meaning (synonyms) but many words will also have opposite words (antonyms) listed as well.

No, a thesaurus is a book that provides synonyms (words with similar meanings) for the word you are looking up, not the opposite. It helps to find alternative words to use in writing to avoid repetition.
