Who issues the decree that concerns and angers Antigone in 'Antigone'?
Creon issues the decree that concerns and angers Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon issues an edict that makes funeral services and below-ground burials a privilege instead of a god-given right to all Thebans. He then allows his nephew Eteocles to be buried, but leaves the body of his nephew Polyneices above ground and exposed to the ravages of weather and wildlife. Antigone is happy over the respect shown to Eteocles and angry about its lack to Polyneices.
Why is the plot of 'Antigone' triangular?
The plot of the play 'Antigone' is triangular, because of the clearly demarcated beginning, middle and end to the story; and the clearly identifiable rising and falling actions. The play begins with the exposition of the conflict or crisis. What will Antigone do about the burial of her brother Eteocles and the non-burial of her brother Polyneices? The rising action links the story's beginning and middle. The play's action rises with Antigone's sprinkling with dust and anointing with oil the corpse of her brother Polyneices. The play climaxes with the confrontation between Theban King Creon and Antigone, his niece and future daughter-in-law. The play's action falls with Antigone's death sentence. It ends with the resolution in the aftermath of Teiresias the blind prophet's predictions of doom and gloom for the royal household. In quick succession, Polyneices' body is given proper burial; Antigone, Haemon, and Eurydice commit suicide; and the King is disgraced.
