It is Antigone that the audience is supposed to end up supporting in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon does not confer with elders, gods, oracles or prophets before issuing an unjust edict that contradicts divine will and undermines healing from a bloody civil war. His concern about his city's security is admirable. But the way that he goes about the process of municipal recovery leaves much to be desired. In contrast, Princess Antigone makes a courageous decision after examining the pros and cons with her sister Ismene.
