The ultimate authority in life is the source of conflict between Antigone and Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon believes that he can decide what is best for himself, his city and his people. He does not feel influenced or inhibited by what goes before, around or after him. He in fact is in transition from Antigone's old ways of cherished traditions, divine will and family ties.

The choice is between the divine authority of the gods and the royal authority of Theban kings. Antigone selects the gods, which puts her into conflict with King Creon.
Whether or not to obey the royal edict is the minor conflict in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the phrase minor conflict describes a disagreement that does not involve both main characters but that relates to their main conflict. The description fits the opening disagreement between the Theban sister Princesses Antigone and Ismene. Antigone insists that their brother Polyneices must be buried and that the royal edict of non-burial therefore must be disobeyed. In contrast, Ismene maintains that the laws of the city must not be broken. The disagreement relates to the major conflict between the main characters, Antigone and Creon, over the ultimate authority figures in life and death.
Whom to obey is the conflict between Antigone and Ismene in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone considers divine will the ultimate in law and the gods the ultimate in authority figures. In contrast, her sister Princess Ismene looks to the more immediate authority of their uncle King Creon and his laws. She understandably shudders at the thought of confronting her daunting uncle and his equally daunting death sentences to violators of his laws.
Because they are too much alike! Both head strong and confident in their actions and speech. Along with pride sometimes comes stubbornness (Antigone) and the belief that one is superior (Creon). They both have this in common creating this strained relationship between them; conflict. Creon describes Antigone as 'Daughter of Oedipus pride'
Personal versus practical and long versus short termexplains the conflict of values and ideas between Antigone and Ismene in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone appreciates divinely approved standards of conduct and family life whereas her sister, Princess Ismene, values civil obedience and survival. Personal ties therefore conflict with practicality. The different values influence the way in which the sisters perceive situations. For example, Antigone looks to the wider picture and the longer term by considering the impact of behavior in life on status in the Underworld of the afterlife. In contrast, Ismene prioritizes the short term since she is a survivalist.
Yes, one of the themes in 'Antigone' is the conflict between man made and divine laws. Antigone represents respect for god given traditions, rituals and rites. For example, the people of her city are guaranteed proper burial rites and rituals, because of being Thebans and because of the power and wisdom of the gods. In contrast, Antigone's uncle, Theban King Creon, represents a godless rule of mortals. For example, Creon doesn't believe that god given traditions, rituals and rites need to be carved any longer in stone. They can be changed or disregarded, at will. And that precisely is where the conflict begins, with Antigone refusing to discard what always has been there and with Creon thinking that he can be the one to make unprecedented changes.
Whether to follow her conscience or her civic duty is the main conflict for Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone needs to decide whether she will be a devout worshipper or a dedicated citizen. She must choose between burying her brother Polyneices and obeying divine will or leaving his body unburied and obeying an illegal royal edict. Either way, she has to recognize whether the gods or the royals are her ultimate authority figures.
The play Antigone is all about morality, primarily concerning the conflict between divine law and human/state law. Also addressed are the topics of religion, gender rights, family beliefs, and self-concept (dignity, arrogance, and pride).
