When a friend is going through a difficult time and is feeling badly, you might sympathize with your friend. This means that you in some way share the grief with your friend, or express feelings of sorrow that your friend is in pain. In another context it can also mean that you are in agreement, fully or partially, with someone's position. In this context it can have little or nothing to do with feelings. For example, you may be having a discussion about politics and someone expresses some factual evidence supporting his/her position. Even though you might come to a completely different conclusion, you might say that you sympathize with that person regarding the factual evidence. Using the word this way, it can even have a bit of a cynical flavor, depending on your delivery.

Readers can sympathize with Antigone because of her compassion. Antigone doesn't see the ties of blood, love, and respect as ending with life. She asserts that she has no chance of having another brother, because both her parents are dead.Antigone also considers that she will spend much more time dead than alive. So she must think of how she treats death and the dead. She feels the additional responsibility of being the great great great granddaughter of Cad mus, who founded the city of Thebes in about 2000 B.C.E.; and the great great great great great granddaughter of Poseidon, the sea god.With such an ancestry, it isn't surprising that she wants to be in compliance with the enduring legacy of the gods, and the equally enduring traditions of Thebes' founder.
A style of writing is a distinctive manner of expression. Poetry is a manner of expression that's calculated to produce vivid imagery in the mind and to create an emotional response through meaning, sound, and rhythm. The writing style in the play 'Antigone' is poetic. That poetic style of writing definitely is used to call forth vivid mental images and to get readers and viewers to sympathize with the main character, Antigone.
That her behavior leaves Creon no choice is the way in which the chorus first characterizes Antigone's punishment in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus does not sympathize with Theban Princess Antigone. The members insist that she is every bit as proud, stubborn, uncompromising, uncontrolled and unlucky as her father, disgraced Theban King Oedipus. They make no mention about her courage and a lot of mention about her perceived character flaws.
To increase our sympathy for her and to make us dislike Macbeth even more when he has them killed. It was dangerous to portray the overthrow of a monarch by force because the government might take that to be encouragement to assassinate the King or Queen (and people tried to kill both Queen Elizabeth and King James, so this was a real fear.) Therefore in order to show the overthrow of a king to be justified, the king needed to be shown as an absolute monster. What better way to do this than by having him kill an innocent woman and her spunky kid? Especially the kid. Killing babies was then as now an especially horrifying thought.
