That she does not back down from burying her brother and enduring the punishment is the way in which Antigone is strong in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone demonstrates strength when she breaks her uncle King Creon's law of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. She exhibits strength when she confronts Creon with her crime. She expresses strength when she endures Creon's insults and threats. She manifests strength when she processes to her live burial without breaking down or making a scene.
Slight and young are Antigone's physical attributes in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the ancient dramatist does not describe Theban Princess Antigone. But she has to be young because she is engaged but not yet a wife or mother. She also has to be slight since she is not strong enough to give her brother Polyneices anything other than a partial burial under a layer of dust.
That she is brave, compassionate and determined is what can be told of Antigone's character from the strong contrast with her sister in the prologue to "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone demonstrates bravery in heading on a collision path with her formidable uncle, King Creon. She exhibits compassion in not wanting to leave her brother Polyneices' body above ground and exposed to disfigurement and dismemberment by ravaging weather and scrounging wildlife. She manifests determination in holding to her decision despite her sister Ismene's persuasive reasons to abandon the task.
If Antigone disobeys Creon's Law in "Antigone," Antigone is to be sentenced to death.
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.

Antigone
Antigone is the Protagonist.
Antigone is the anarchist.
That it needs to be broken is what Antigone proposes about Creon's new law in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon issues an edict that denies to his perceived enemies divinely sanctioned rights of all Thebans to below ground burials. Princess Antigone has a strong negative reaction to the law by which her brother Polyneices' body is left above ground and exposed to ravaging weather and wildlife. She concludes that the law needs to be disobeyed.
