A metaphor involves the application of the quality of one thing to something else to which the quality isn't fully appropriate. It amounts to comparing apples to Oranges. A metaphor that applies to Antigone is one of a bitter bird coming back to the nest. The bird expects to find the chicks there. But the nest instead is empty. The metaphor recalls Antigone's partial burying of her brother and coming back to find Polyneices' body unburied.

Antigone is the protagonist in the play "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, in English, the noun "protagonist" may refer to the champion of a particular cause. It also may refer to the main character. Either way, the English word comes from the classical language of the ancient Greeks. In Greek, the word "protagonistes" combines "protos" for "first" with "agonistes" for "actor." All three descriptions - champion, leading actor, and main character - apply to Antigone.
