Realization of the truth about herself and about the opinions of others is the moment of discovery for Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone's discovery about the opinions of others takes place when Thebans learn of her arrest for burying her dead brother Polyneices. She finds out that Thebans admire her obedience to god-given laws and respect for Theban traditions and all Theban dead. Additionally, Antigone has three moments of discovery about herself:
1. In the opening scene, Antigone describes herself as knowing what is right and carrying it out regardless of her sister Ismene's opinion to the contrary.
2. In the middle of the play, Antigone describes herself as obligated her entire life to her family in the realms of the living and especially of the dead.
3. Towards the end of the play, Antigone describes herself as responsible to her dead brother's body because of that responsibility not being challenged or rivalled by marriage and motherhood, which never take place for her.
