Who is the rebel in the play 'Antigone'?
Antigone is the rebel in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone becomes a rebel by taking a stand against a controversial, unjust, unpopular law that denies god-given burial rights to Thebans. She moves from a position within the established governmental and social framework to outside it when she breaks her uncle King Creon's royal edict of non-burial. That move therefore turns her from a law-abiding citizen to a civilly disobedient rebel.
Who is more powerful between Antigone and Creon in 'Antigone'?
It is Antigone who is more powerful than Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone becomes a rebel in her own royal household. She gets away with defying her uncle King Creon, who is the city's most powerful political figure, and his laws in that all Thebes is on her side. It is only the chorus who will not support her because they are so attuned to being on the side of the city's reigning power figure and because they are so lacking in understanding of her personal pain.
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.
Why does Creon pass the new law in 'Antigone'?
That he needs to discourage future challenges to his authority is the reason why Creon passes the new law in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon does not want a repeat performance of the first civil war over the Theban royal succession. He insists that the security of the city and the stability of the state best are served by a strong ruler who rewards supporters and punishes traitors. He things that Thebans will not rebel once they see that god-given rights to below ground burials will be denied them.
What happens to Ismene?
The fate of Ismene is unknown in the play 'Antigone'. Readers and viewers only know that Ismene's activities are under Theban King Creon's control. The King ultimately decides to release Ismene, and to punish Antigone, for the unlawful burial of their rebel brother Polyneices. Ismene is a survivor. She also represents the ideal Theban woman: unquestioning, unimaginative, uneducated, subservient, obedient, and intimidated by governmental, royal and spousal powers. The children of her brothers Eteocles and Polyneices succeed Creon as King of Thebes. So it's likely that Ismene ends up as married with children.
