Antigone refused to listen to her king, Creon's, commands to not burry the body of her brother, Polynieces who died a "criminal". Her pride in her family and religion led to her death towards the end of the novel as well as the death of her fiance, Creon's own son. One can argue, of course, that it was Creon's pride that led to the books tragic ending, however, a reader must also realize that Antigone also played a part in her destruction with her own pride.
