That they each believe in making a point but that one does so with convictions and the other with none is what makes up a comparison and contrast of Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) and Crito in the dialogue by Plato 424/423 B.C.E. - 348/347 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone believes in giving her life for the family, the gods and Theban traditions. In contrast, Crito considers it more effective to make points outside of prison and without impending death sentences being carried out. He defends life as needing to be saved at all costs and convictions as important after the preservation of one's own life.
