The topic refers to the subject of an argument, a discussion, or a piece of writing. The topic in the play 'Antigone' therefore is the question of the burial of Polyneices. Polyneices is an exiled Theban who betrays his city. Traditionally, as a Theban, he still may expect a proper burial. But his uncle, Theban King Creon, goes against tradition. He issues a decree that honors the right in terms of the loyal Theban dead, and denies it to the disloyal Theban dead. And so the play asks whether or not Polyneices' corpse needs to be buried in accordance with god-given tradition or in compliance with a manmade law.
