No, the play 'Antigone' isn't a satire. A satire makes fun of someone or something. Nothing is made fun of in this play. Instead, the play is a serious look at the consequences to an individual, a family, and a people of one individual act of breaking the law. There's nothing funny about the subject. In fact, the consequences are fatal for three main characters and miserable for a fourth. Therefore, the play is a tragedy, and not at all a satirical comedy.
