The play "Antigone" was set in the kingdom of Thebes.
Most of the action took place in and around the royal palace of King Creon. Some of the action took place in the forsaken area in which the dead Argive invaders and their equally dead Theban allies were left exposed to the elements, dogs, and birds. Some of the action also took place in the isolated, rocky cave that became Antigone's last home on earth.
Yes, the setting of the play "Antigone" can be different.Specifically, the concerns that the play addresses are timeless in when they can take place. They also are universal in where they can take place. So just about any time period, set or location may be used.
The setting of the entire play "Antigone" is in Thebes, the background is the Palace of Thebes. There were no scene changes that actually took place, it would be difficult and awkward for there to be a scene change so there were eleborate messenger speeches to provide a vivid picture of where the scene is taking place.
Outside the royal palace of Thebes is the setting when the play "Antigone" begins.Specifically, the scene takes place in the open space before the front entrance to the royal palace. The time is daybreak. The first two characters that the reading and viewing audiences meet are Theban Princesses Antigone and Ismene, orphaned daughters of the tragically incestuous previously reigning royal couple and nieces of current Theban King Creon.
The setting of the play 'Antigone' is the city of Thebes. Most of the action takes place in and around the royal palace. But there also is the procession of Antigone from the city to a remote cave. At various times throughout the play, there are ninecharacters on stage. The main characters are Antigone; her sister Ismene; her uncle Theban King Creon, his wife Queen Eurydice, and their son Haemon; and the blind prophet Teiresias. There also are appearances by a guard and two messengers. Additionally, there's a chorus that typically numbers about 15 members.
If Antigone disobeys Creon's Law in "Antigone," Antigone is to be sentenced to death.

It is particularly in Antigone's last scene that euphemisms are found in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, euphemisms are round about ways of discussing delicate or heart wrenching topics. For example, Theban Princess Antigone offers euphemisms for death. For example, she speaks of Hades giving sleep to mortals. She then talks of setting forth on her last trip, which is a euphemism for death.
If Antigone disobeys Creon's Law in "Antigone," Antigone is to be sentenced to death.
