What is supposed to happen if Antigone disobeys Creon's Law in 'Antigone'?

If Antigone disobeys Creon's Law in "Antigone," Antigone is to be sentenced to death.


How does Antigone die in 'Antigone?

King Creon of Thebes passed a law forbidding the burial of Antigone's brother Polynices. Creon passed this law because Polynices led an army against Thebes, his native country. Polynies's brother Eteocles, however, is given a proper burial because he led Thebes in this war. Antigone wanted to bury her brother Polynices because the laws of the gods commanded it. Antigone burried her brother and confessed her deed to Creon. Creon then sentenced her to her death. He burried her alive in a cave with just enough food to survive. Antigone decided to hang herself to put herself out of her misery.


What is the climax in 'Antigone'?

The climax of Antigone is when Creon and Antigone have their confrontation, and Creon realizes he cannot overpower her. She goes on teasing and disobeying him, and so he angrily condemns her to death. The second time a climax could occur is when the reader realizes that Antigone has killed herself right before Creon decided to release her. It's an ironic twist that emphasizes the tragic aspect of the play. Depending on your perspective, either one of those could be the climax.The climax, I believe, is the argument that takes place between Antigone and Creon since that is where the play actually begins.Their argument is what will, eventually, decide the fate of Polynices and Antigone herself.
