What does Creon do to Antigone in 'Antigone'?

Sentence her to death is what Creon does to Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone deliberately breaks a royal edict recently issued by King Creon, her uncle and intended father-in-law. Creon tends to have a negative attitude towards women in general and towards Antigone in particular. Nevertheless, Antigone does nothing to try to get Creon to pardon her or give her a sentence other than death.


What is the conclusion about sentencing Antigone to death in 'Antigone'?

That everyone except Creon and the chorus oppose it is the conclusion about sentencing Antigone to death in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon issues an edict that his niece, Princess Antigone, disobeys. The civil disobedience makes Antigone eligible for the mandatory death sentence. But just about everyone - her aunt Eurydice, her betrothed Haemon, her sister Ismene and Teiresias the blind prophet - oppose Antigone's death. Creon and the chorus basically stand alone in believing that her deed may be correct but that her uncontrolled passionate outbursts earn Antigone her death.


Are Antigone and Ismene both afraid to bury their brother in 'Antigone'?

No, Antigone and Ismene are not both afraid to bury their brother in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone does not fear death. She therefore does not fear risking the death sentence by breaking the law and burying her disgraced brother Polyneices. But her courage is not echoed by her sister, Princess Ismene, who fears being found out and punished to death.


Is Antigone's death a result of her fate or her own free will in 'Antigone'?

Free will is what causes Antigone's death in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is aware of divine curses on the Theban royal house of which she is a descendant and current member. But there is no mention of any specific prophecy regarding her fate. Additionally, she chooses to break a royal law for which any violation carries an automatic death sentence.

What is Antigone's punishment in 'Antigone'?

Live burial and starvation is Antigone's punishment in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone's crime carries the sentence of death under a hail of heavy, sharp rocks thrown by fellow Thebans. But her uncle King Creon decides to change the form of death. Instead, he has Antigone escorted to a remote cave in which she is walled up with a limited supply of food.


Why may Antigone be considered a tragic character in 'Antigone'?

That she dies young and undefended by the gods that she defends is a reason why Antigone may be considered a tragic character in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone defies a royal edict that contradicts divine will and Theban traditions. She gets the death sentence for her civil disobedience. She hangs herself rather than prolong her death sentence of live burial and starvation. She has to endure humiliation, insults and pain even though she is defending the ultimate authority of the gods. The gods ironically and tragically remain silent and removed throughout Antigone's brief life and lonely death.
