Best Answer

Greek tragedy is the category of drama under which the ancient, classical Greek play 'Antigone' falls. Antigone the hero foredooms her own tragedy by the unrestrained passion of her convictions. Her convictions are correct in her respect for the gods and the underworld realm of the dead. But the ways in which she expresses and defends her convictions disrespect the gift of life and the mortals with whom she must get along. The errors of her ways, and of the ways of her uncle Theban King Creon, set in motion tragic consequences that are felt by the suffering of the entire city of Thebes and by the suicides of Antigone, her first cousin and fiance Haemon, and her aunt and intended mother-in-law Theban Queen Eurydice.
