How does Antigone react to the accusations in 'Antigone'?
Accept responsibility is the way in which Antigone reacts to the accusations in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is accused of deliberately violating a law whose measures and punishment are public knowledge. Antigone makes no attempt to deny her guilt. In fact, the moment that she decides to bury her brother Polyneices she takes responsibility for the crime and its punishment.
Is Antigone accused of burying the body of Polyneices?
Yes, Antigone is accused of burying the body of her brother Polyneices. The accusations come from the direct observation of the Sentry and from Theban King Creon's acceptance of the Sentry's testimony as true. The accusations also come from the very proud confession of the crime's commission by Antigone herself.
Does Antigone feels that she made a mistake?
Not at all.
What does Creon decide to do with Antigone in 'Antigone'?
Bury her alive is what Creon decides to do to Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone breaks a recent royal edict by burying her brother Polyneices. The punishment calls for Antigone to die under a shower of stones thrown by the Theban people. But Antigone's uncle, King Creon, changes his mind and decides that he wants to get Antigone out of sight, out of mind of all Thebes.
Does Antigone or Medea come out on top at the end of 'Antigone'?
Medea is not a character in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Princess Medea does not overlap with Theban Princess Antigone. She nevertheless does visit Thebes as the invited guest of Hercules, Creon's father-in-law and the husband of Antigone's first cousin Megara. But she ends up being hated and chased out of Thebes whereas Antigone earns the admiration of all Thebes for all time.
