Yes, Antigone is right about burying Polyneices in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Thebans are guaranteed by the gods of below ground burials. Below ground burials are part of Theban traditions. They express respect for family and reverence for the gods. It is disgusting for dead Thebans to be left lying above ground and exposed to ravaging weather and scrounging wildlife. It also is vindictive since the dead so exposed must seek entry as disfigured, dismembered entities into the Underworld of the afterlife.

What metaphors apply to Antigone?
A metaphor involves the application of the quality of one thing to something else to which the quality isn't fully appropriate. It amounts to comparing apples to oranges. A metaphor that applies to Antigone is one of a bitter bird coming back to the nest. The bird expects to find the chicks there. But the nest instead is empty. The metaphor recalls Antigone's partial burying of her brother and coming back to find Polyneices' body unburied.
Why did Antigone return if she had already buried Polyneices?
she wasn't afraid to announce that she buried her brother, and was proud of the fact and wouldn't deny it because it was the right thing to do, and followed the God's laws
What does Antigone do when she is brought before Creon?
Antigone tells Creon that she did the right thing and that she is ready to die and join all of her loved ones who are dead
How does Antigone answer to Creon's questions in 'Antigone'?
Honest but insolent admission of guilt is the way in which Antigone answers to Creon's questions in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone breaks her uncle King Creon's non-burial edict because she believes in her family, the gods and Theban traditions. She buries her brother Polyneices because it is the correct thing to do. She confesses to her guilt because that too is the correct thing to do.But how she does it disrespects and insults Creon, the gods' earthly representative in Thebes.
Why is Antigone seen as a good person?
Because she respects the gods, her family and her hometown Antigone is seen as a good person in the play "Antigone."Specifically, mortals are expected to obey divine laws. In the case of Antigone, she respects the divine law that all Thebans are to receive divinely ordained funerary rites and below-ground burial procedures. No one - not even Theban King Creon - has the right to deny Thebans such as the disloyal Polyneices of these god-given rights. Antigone disobeys human law and obeys divine law by burying her disloyal brother.According to ancient Greek culture, this is the correct and good thing to do. In fact, to do otherwise is not only blasphemous and disfunctional to the family but also dangerous for Thebes. Not following proper, divinely ordained procedure pollutes people and the entire environment. Antigone's uncle and sovereign therefore contaminates not only himself but all Thebans and all Thebes when he prevents the burials of Polyneices and the other disloyal Theban dead.

Is the tragic hero Antigone or Creon?
Creon is the tragic hero of Antigone. He matches Aristotle's definition of a tragic hero exactly. He is of noble birth, because he is the king and because he was formerly the brother of the queen (Jocasta) and the uncle of the king (Eteocles). Second is his flaw, which is hubris, overbearing pride. He is so overconfident in himself that he ignores the law of the gods and everyone else's advice. The reversal of fortune happened directly after it was predicted by Teiresias, his entire family was lost, and his attempt to right his wrongs failed completely. Then the anagnorisis takes place and he realizes what he has done wrong. The weight of what he had done comes crashing down on him, the fact that all that happened was his fault. Antigone also fits some of these qualities, but not all. One can say that she is stubborn, but that doesn't really qualify as hamartia because it doesn't really cause the downfall of everything. The reversal of fortune was caused by Creon's mistakes. Plus, there is no realization by her before she dies. Instead she is steadfast in her belief that she is doing the right thing. Though Creon DOES display many of the tragic hero traits, Antigone, herself, may also be considered the tragic hero of Antigone. A tragic hero is described as a "literary character who makes an error of judgment or has a fatal flaw that, combined with fate and external forces, brings on a tragedy". In this specific play, Antigone's fatal flaw would be burying her brother against the will of Creon. This caused the crisis at the end of the story. Her death was the beginning of the chain of deaths of Haemon and Eurdyices.
What is one thing that Antigone and Creon have in common in 'Antigone'?
Proud, non-stopstubbornness is one thing that Antigone and Creon have in common in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone and King Creon throw themselves into the middle of controversial issues. They each then take strong stands from which they argue to their heart's delight. But the argument is not a debate since all they do is defend their own position without looking for common ground: this is extreme stubbornness.
What judgment error or frailty in character does Creon display in antigone?
in the play she shows great pride in himself. and his pride is the thing that leads Antigone to kill herself
What is Creon's motive on Antigone's death?
You can say 2 things 1= selfishness. Creon wanted to seem like a strong king who wasn't to be messed with. He wouldn't let Antigone live as he wasn't going to be beaten by a girl. So you could say he was sexist and that his selfishness motivated him to kill Antigone. 2= He thought he was doing the right thing as he believed Polynices was a disloyal person to the dead king, so he thought that Antigone was being disloyal as well. Both answers can be justified with text from the story. hope this helps:)
