That she doesn't change in her convictions is the reason why Antigone is considered a static character. A static character doesn't change. Antigone takes a stand and doesn't back down even in the face of death.

Specifically, Antigone chooses to obey divine laws over the laws of mortals. In obeying one set of laws she breaks another. She decides to respect divine laws and disobey mortal laws. Her reasoning recognizes the more serious harm from divine wrath than from mortal fury. Her life is over in this world and the next if she disobeys the gods. But it's only over in this world if she disrespects mortals.

That's her position, and she sticks to it.
