Yes, Antigone is justified in her attitude throughout her confrontation with Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone has the right to defend and protect herself and her brother Polyneices against her uncle King Creon. She manifests courage in her interactions with this stalker who brooks no independent thinking and cheats people out of their hard earned rights.But she needs to tone down the way in which she expresses her disappointments in Creon and his godless rule over Thebes.
