What would you do to safeguard the lives or memories of those you love is one question that deals with a theme of 'Antigone'. One of the play's themes indeed is the lengths to which one is expected, or expects oneself, to go for loved ones. Is it acceptable to break the laws of the community in which one lives is another question. Another of the play's themes indeed is the choice between respect for the changing human, and the changeless divine, interpretations of right and wrong.
One of the main topics in Antigone were 'Disillusionment' and 'Different shades of happiness".
The contrast between the laws of the gods and those of mortals is the main theme of 'Antigone'. The main question therefore becomes the following: By what standard does one lead one's life in the event of conflict? Does one choose the standard of the gods or that of mortals? And what happens as a result of such a choice?

The question of ultimate authority is the way in which power is a major theme in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, authority figures can be gods or kings. Kings govern as the representatives of the gods on earth. But their rule has to harmonize with and validate divine will. It must not conflict, which is what Theban King Creon's edict does in regard to divine will and cherished Theban tradition.

In Sophocles' "Antigone," Creon wants to question Antigone. He seeks to understand her motives for defying his edict by burying her brother Polynices, which he views as an act of treason. Creon aims to assert his authority and maintain order in Thebes by holding her accountable for her actions.
deals with a unique individual instead of universal types.
