What is the role of paradox in 'Antigone'?
It is Antigone's and Creon's determination that is paradoxical in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the term paradox describes something that seems to be true but that whose effects actually are contradictory or illogical. The description fits the strong, uncompromising, unyielding will that Theban Princess Antigone and King Creon bring to bear in their interactions with each other and in fact with everyone else in the play. That determination initially gives them what they want but then boomerangs.

Antigone, her betrothed Haemon, and Haemon's mother Theban Queen Eurydice are the suicides in the play "Antigone."Specifically, first Antigone hangs herself. Her reasons are not spelled out in the play. But she is sentenced to die alone in a remote, walled-up cave. It is possible that she cannot bear to share her last days on earth with such slimy, sinister, disgusting cave inhabitants as snakes. It also is possible that she decides to get her death over with since she indicates that she values the afterlife far more than the earthly existence.Then Haemon kills himself with his own sword. His reasons are spelled out. He first tries to kill his father, Theban King Creon. When he fails, he kills himself. He wants to be where Antigone is. He absolutely does not want to be in the same space or on the same time as his father, whom he disrespects and detests.Finally, Eurydice stabs herself in the heart. Here too, the reasons are spelled out. Haemon is the last of her four children. She blames her husband for the deaths of all four children. She too would rather join her loved ones in the afterlife rather than spend one second more in her husband's obnoxious company.

Many were 'bystanders' ... but even division into three categories is open to criticism.
