"One must remember that a man lives best when he is true to himself." - Antigone speaking about the conflict between following divine law and man-made law.
Antigone, like most Greek Tragedy, is not meant to be read to give a moral, but rather to entertain and inspire common emotion in the audience, (Scodel, Into. to Greek Tragedy). In as much as this question can be answered, the moral of Antigone is dual: the fierce nature of Antigone lands her in trouble, and the stubborn nature of Creon leaves him childless and widowed. However, a better reading of this play is to use it to understand whether following a state's rule even when the rule is wrong, is the right thing to do. Creon was clearly 'wrong' to prohibit Polynices' burial (as seen in other depictions of Polynices in epic verse). This applies to very modern examples, such as WWII in Germany (Schindler was a good example perhaps of an 'Antigone'). So there is not so much a moral conclusion in this play as there is a debate of what a good ruler should do, what a good citizen should do, and most importantly, what a good person should do.
Antigone embodies the internal conflict between the self and the state in the play of the same name. She initially appears to do easy battle with the struggle between being obedient to the laws of her city, and being true to her own sense of right and wrong. Her moral convictions win that battle, because of Antigone's humanitarianism, respect for the gods, and sense of justice. It's only when Antigone takes her last steps to her place of death that readers and viewers learn how much her struggle costs her emotionally and romantically. The reading and viewing audience indeed learn that Antigone is losing out on her dream of marriage to her beloved first cousin and fiance, Haemon. They therefore realize that the apparently easily won moral battle isn't so easy after all, even for such a passionate activist as Antigone.
"Burial at Thebes" is a retelling of Sophocles' ancient Greek tragedy "Antigone." The story explores themes of moral responsibility, loyalty to family, and the conflict between personal beliefs and state authority. It centers around Antigone's defiance of King Creon's decree, which results in tragic consequences for her and her family.
Etiocles will receive the funeral while Polynices's corpse is left to rot.
Antigone in the play of the same name is considered a tragic hero. A hero is someone who does great deeds, and who has great power and strength. In its feminine form of heroine, the title and the position description fit Antigone. For example, Antigone does great deeds because she dares to bury her brother Polyneices in accordance with the god-given funerary procedures to which he's eligible. She shows great moral power and strength in so doing, for she is confronting the vaster power of the State as represented by her uncle, Theban King Creon.
The state of being moral, good, or righteous.
Assertive is what Antigone's personality is like in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is not afraid of arguments, conflicts or debates. She knows what she believes in - family and the gods. She refuses to back down once her mind is made up.
Social contract is a term generally used in moral and political philosophy. It is a theory originating during the Age of Enlightenment, that typically addresses the questions of the origin of society and the legitimacy of the authority of the state over the individual.
There is no requirement for State of the Union addresses in the Constitution. These addresses are at the discretion of each respective President and his or her cabinets.
That she is to blame for her own predicament is the chorus' reaction to Antigone's plight in her final scene in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus reminds Theban Princess Antigone of her own choices. They say that respect for the gods is important, but does not entail offense to royal rulers. They state that Antigone's willful spirit and uncontrolled passion put her on the road to her death by live burial.
That she chooses divine over royal law and therefore does not separate church and state is the way in which Antigone relates to the observance of religious law in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the recent non-burial edict conflicts with divine will and Theban tradition. Theban Princess Antigone chooses to comply with divine provisions. She believes that gods rule the world and the Underworld and that the state must take a back seat to divine authority.
A decline or loosenes in ones moral standards. The state of giving in to low moral standards.
