Antigone thinks the dead not the living make the longest demands because of the honor and ceremony surrounding them after death. They must be prepare, dress, and buried in the tradition needed to meet their deity in the afterlife.

What do the other characters think of Antigone in 'Antigone'?

Negatively by her uncle, positively by her betrothed, and questioningly by her sister is what other characters think of Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon characterizes his niece, Princess Antigone, as foolish. His son, Prince Haemon, considers Antigone, his first cousin and bride-to-be, the love and role model of his life. But Princess Ismene has questions about her sister breaking the law and the social mold.


What does Antigone say about the people of Thebes and what they think about the situation in 'Antigone'?

That they support her but are afraid is what Antigone says about the people of Thebes and what they think about the situation in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone buries her brother Polyneices. This is in compliance with divine will and Theban traditions but in contradiction of her uncle King Creon's illegal edict of non-burial. Antigone says that Theban support her in word and deed and oppose Creon but are too afraid to show their opposition.

Creon thinks that Antigone is a mad (crazy), annoying woman, and should obey men. Haemon is Antigone's future wife, and is so mad at his father for sentencing her to death that he plunges a sword into his own body. Ismene is Antigone's older sister, so she is scared of her sister dying.

What is the audience supposed to think about Antigone in 'Antigone'?

That she is correct in her convictions but incorrect in how she carries them out is what the audience is supposed to think about Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is correct in her defense of what is vulnerable and what matters most. She is right in protecting the rights of the Theban dead and in respecting the gods as the ultimate authority figure in life and death. But she strays into unacceptable territory with the way in which she articulates her convictions and in which she disrespects King Creon, to whom she owes respect as her guardian, sovereign and uncle.


What does Creon think made a good ruler in 'Antigone'?

One who decides all matters great and small and who demands obedience is a good ruler in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Creon believes that a ruler rules alone, over all things and all people. It is a sign of weakness and ineffectiveness to seek and be influenced by other opinions. It is a sign of strength and effectiveness to be obeyed, without comment or even clarifying question.
