Antigone and Ismene, Antigone and Creon, Creon and Haemon, and Creon and Teiresias are the opposing forces in the conflicts in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Princesses Antigone and Ismene are on opposing sides in the conflict over whether or not to bury their brother Polyneices and whether to obey divine or human law. Antigone and King Creon also are on opposite sides in that conflict even though they both agree that Antigone will die. Creon opposes his son Haemon and then his advisor, Teiresias the blind prophet, on just about everything: burial versus non-burial, divine versus human laws, release or sentencing of Antigone.
Antigone and Creon are the two characters that face each other in the major conflict in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon issues a royal edict against burial of the disloyal Theban dead. The edict leaves exposed to wether and wildlife the body of Polyneices, Princess Antigone's beloved brother. Antigone questions the legality of Creon's edict, which contradicts divine guarantees to all Thebans of below ground burials and proper funeral rites.
That each one is relentless, stubborn and uncompromisingis the main reason why Antigone and Creon cannot resolve their conflict in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone and King Creon are related to each other as uncle to niece. In addition to common ancestors, they have similarly dominating, unreconciling personalities that make it difficult for them to get along. For example, Antigone and Creon never let anything pass and never let go of what gets their attention. They just never make room for the flow of ideas and opinions other than their own.
Fighting Thebans, invading Argives, and Oedipus' two sonsare killed in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, a battle takes place before the action of the play and is referenced throughout by the main characters. In that battle, disloyal Thebans led by Polyneices and supported by invading forces from Argos as well as Thebans loyal to Eteocles kill each other off. In the course of the play, three more deaths occur. But each one is a suicide: Princess Antigone, Prince Haemon and Queen Eurydice.
What to do when two authorities contradict each other is the main idea of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is confronted with a situation of authority figures in conflict. One represents the rule of the state in the form of her uncle King Creon's edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. The other stands for the will of the gods in the form of divinely sanctioned rights of all Thebans to below ground burials.
Sisters and cousins is the relationship between Antigone and Ismene in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Antigone and Ismene are the daughters of disgraced Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta. Their parents both are direct descendants of Cadmus, Thebes' founder and first king, but by different grandchildren. Their parents therefore are cousins to each other as are the sisters Antigone and Ismene.

Then the forces are most likely opposing and negate each other.

If the opposing forces are pulling exactly opposite of each other, then take the difference of the magnitudes of the two forces (subtract the smaller value from the larger value), and the direction vector of the resultant force is in the same direction as the larger force.

All conflicts are caused by forces in opposition, but not all forces in opposition oppose each other strongly enough to cause conflict (for example civil debate or electromagnetism).

equilibrium
A conflict arises when two team members have opposing ideas on how to approach a project. The conflict is solved through open communication and compromise, allowing each team member to contribute their perspective and find a mutually agreeable solution that combines the strengths of both ideas.
