In the play 'Antigone', the main character of the same name is expelled. Antigone respects the god-given laws by which Thebans live and prepare for death. But in so doing, she violates the temporary, manmade law of her uncle and future father-in-law, Theban King Creon. The King brooks no opposition, and sentences his niece to death. By law, he must have her stoned to death. Instead, he expels her to be walled up in a remote cave.
