Why is 'Antigone' still read today?
The play 'Antigone' still is read today, because of its timeless plot, dialogue, characters, and actions. To this day, the balance is being worked out between mercy and justice before the law. Likewise is the working out of the acceptable limits of obedience and non-obedience to inhumane, unfair and unjust laws.

How are women portrayed in 'Antigone'?
There are three main characters who are women in the play 'Antigone'. The three represent different models of female behavior. One model is represented by the main character of the same name. She's presented as a rebel among women in her passionate outbursts and her unconventional behavior. For example, Antigone believes that convictions can be had, feelings can be experienced, and work can be done by women as well as by men. She doesn't believe that she needs a man to tell her what to say, feel, or do. She knows on her own what's right and wrong, what's comfortable and uncomfortable, and what to do about them.Another model of female behavior is represented by Theban Queen Eurydice, who is Creon's wife, Haemon's mother, and Antigone's future mother-in-law. Eurydice only appears towards the end of the play. Her main contribution is her suicide. She seems to have lived in her husband's shadow, and been content to follow his orders. But with the loss of both her sons, she's in a difficult position. Does she continue to respect Creon and live life as the obedient, subservient female? Or does she dare to question an authority that costs her the lives of both her children? She's anguished enough to not want to continue living on Creon's terms. But at the same time, she feels so much anguish that she can't make the effort to rebel. Besides, she knows the price that Antigone pays for rebellion.Still another model is represented by Antigone's sister, Ismene. Ismene is actually a transition between Antigone's rebellious extreme and Eurydice's traditional extreme. She initially seems to be what may be called today a pre-suffragist supporter of the status quo. She believes in being respectful to earthly authorities and obedient to men. She operates from a gender basis, in that certain activities and responsibilities are for men alone and others for women alone. But she subsequently shows promise of change in her brave, sensible attempts to defend Antigone against Creon's wrath.
