The role of Antigone in the play of the same name is the fighter on the behalf of just traditions and moral behavior in the face of drastic change. For she fights for those who can't defend themselves: the dead who are denied the god-given rights to proper burial; and the Theban citizenry who fear reprisals for speaking their minds. Likewise, she fights for the rightness of respect for one's humanity and the wrongness of disrespect for one's passage through life and into death.
