What was the importance of saying 'no' in 'Antigone'?
Saying 'no' in the play 'Antigone' was important in showing individual choices. It also was important in showing what can't be legislated: a certain unchanging standard for humans of appropriate behavior. That changeless standard was set by the gods. According to the gods, for example, it was unthinkable for any Theban not to be given a proper funeral. But that timeless standard was contrasted with the latest, changing standards of city government. According to Theban King Creon, it was unthinkable for Thebans to expect a proper burial. He considered burial a privilege to be earned, not a right to be honored. Thebans had to act, speak, and think in the ways that the King wanted them to. Otherwise, they'd be denied their traditional, god-given rights. But Creon's niece Antigone decided to say 'no' to the standards of the moment, and 'yes' to the eternal. In so doing, she showed that mortals were more than puppets to the moment's particular despotic, dictatorial ruler. She also showed that life was more than mindless, uncritical obedience to the moment's earthly bully. And she showed that the bonds of tradition, friendship, and family were forces not to be ignored by earthly rulers and earthly laws.
Does Oedipus think that Teiresias is framing him for the murder of the previous king of Thebes?
Yes, Theban King Oedipus thinks that Teiresias the blind prophet is framing him for the murder of the previous king of Thebes. Oedipus thinks that he knows himself and his life very well. He knows of having committed a murder before arriving in Thebes. But it's unthinkable to him that the surly individual whom he kills in a street brawl over the right of way at a crossroads may have been a king. So he concludes that Teiresias is lying, for self advancement, in saying that the murderer of Theban King Laius is the current sovereign of Thebes.
