What are Antigone's character traits?

Answer 1

She is headstrong, willing to die for her beliefs, quick to react, loyal to her family above anyone and anything else, and overall sure of herself.

-She refuses to go by the rules laid down by Thebean King Creon, and buries her brother, Polyneices.

-When she is caught in the act, she tells Creon that if she has no friends in this world, death is a welcome companion.

-When she hears of Creon's rule to not allow burial of Polyneices, she doesn't even blink in hesitation when deciding that she is going to bury her brother anyways.

-She is so sure of herself that she doesn't realize what could be the consequence of her actions until it is too late. This is also one of her tragic flaws, because her belief that she is right gets in her way.

-Antigone tells her sister, Ismene, that she feels it is her duty to bury their brother because he is their brother.
