That she is too proud to do anything other than spout her opinions is the way in which Antigone's pride leads to suffering and sorrow in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone boasts of burying her brother, dishonoring her uncle King Creon's law and respecting the gods. She does not try to get Creon to reverse his edict or soften the penalty for its violation. She is so proud of her convictions and deeds that she enjoys throwing his disdain for her uncle in his face.

It is to horses, iron and slaves that Creon compares Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Creon considers his niece Princess Antigone a stubborn, willful girl who needs to be disciplined.

What are the tragic results of Creon's stubbornness and pride in 'Antigone'?
The desecration of the bodies of the disloyal Theban dead and the suicides of Antigone, Haemon and Eurydice are the tragic results of Creon's stubbornness and pride in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon decides to issue a controversial, unpopular edict that denies to his enemies cherished, divinely sanctioned rights of all Thebans to below-ground burials and Theban-style funeral rites. He refuses to back down in the face of widespread suffering of the families of the unburied dead and despite civil disobedience by Princess Antigone, his niece and intended daughter-in-law. In fact, he sentences Antigone to be buried alive, an incident that brings about the successive suicides of Antigone; Prince Haemon, Antigone's betrothed and Creon's son; and Queen Eurydice, Creon's wife and Haemon's mother.
How does Creon's pride pit him against Antigone in 'Antigone'?
That he bends to no one, not even the gods, is the way in which Creon's pride pits him against Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the term pride describes a sense of one's own worth that may be justified in terms of achievements but inflated in terms of one's role. The description fits Theban King Creon who considers himself the ultimate authority in Thebes. This puts on a collision course with his niece, Princess Antigone, who believes that divine will, family ties and Theban traditions always take precedence.
