In the play 'Antigone', the main character of the same name represents the seeming powerlessness of the individual. Her uncle and future father-in-law, Theban King Creon, represents the seeming all-powerfulness of the state. But the public opinion that the King disdains and the prophetic powers that the King relies on from Teiresias the blind prophet do Creon in. And so, ultimately, the righteous individual is seen to make a difference, and the state is seen to crumble before the contagiously courageous stand of one against many.
Antigone, Haemon, Ismene and Teiresias are heroic in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.). Specifically, heroic describes an individual who does great deeds, hold great powers or is the main character. Theban Princess Antigone is heroic as the main character and the doer of the great deed of burying her brother and honoring the gods. But Haemon, Ismene and Teiresias may be said to join her in specific heroic acts of selflessness.
Generous versus selfish, straightforward versus deceitful and wider versus narrower context are differences between Antigone and Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone articulates a generous spirit in her care for her brother Polyneices and her dead family members. She demonstrates straightfowardness in not disguising her emotions or hiding her deeds. She exhibits a commitment to the wider context of life by her devotion to cherished traditions, divine will and family ties.In contrast, Antigone's uncle King Creon expresses selfishness in his disregard for the suffering of his people. He manifests deceit in his punishment of his nephew Polyneices, who dies asserting his legitimate royal claim against his usurping twin brother Eteocles and uncle Creon. He shows a commitment to the narrowest context in thinking only of bolstering the longevity of his rule.That one thinks of others and that the other thinks only of himself is a way in which Antigone and Creon are different in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone considers herself part of a team. She is there for her family, her gods and her traditions. The same may not be said of her uncle King Creon, who thinks only of lasting as long as possible in power.

Ah, 'Antigone' is a tale of loyalty, family, and the conflict between personal beliefs and the laws of the state. It explores themes of justice, duty, and the consequences of standing up for what you believe in. Remember, just like in a painting, every character in 'Antigone' adds depth and color to the overall masterpiece of the story.
Yes, Antigone has hubris or excess virtue that dooms her in 'Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the term hubris describes an exaggerated sense of self worth, arrogance, pride. Theban Princess Antigone is arrogant in thinking that she can disrespect King Creon, the gods' earthly representative in Thebes. But at the same time, she may be said to have excess virtue because of her uncompromising love for her family and loyalty to the gods.

While others have individual responsibilities the head of the Executive branch of the State Government is the State Governor, it can be said that that position acts as and is the Chief Administrator of the State of Illinois.

No ruler said, "You are the state." Louis XIV said, "I am The State."
