An example of hyperbole in Antigone is when Creon exclaims, "No one shall breathe a word of sympathy for him, not if he were a thousand times my brother's son!" This exaggeration emphasizes Creon's strict and uncompromising nature and foreshadows the tragic consequences of his actions.
Yes, there is foreshadowing in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, foreshadowing hints at what will happen. For example, Theban Princess Antigone mentions the pros and cons of breaking royal edicts. She says that the worst that will happen is an ignoble death, which is exactly what happens to her by the end of the play.

Foreshadowing is important in the play 'Antigone'. In terms of the readers and viewers, it's a preparation for the dark turns that the play may take. In terms of the characters, it's a warning of disaster ahead if they take the advice or read the signs correctly. For example, the sisters Antigone and Ismene talk about the consequences of obeying or disobeying a recent law that changes the fabric of Theban society by denying god-given rights to disloyal Theban dead. Ismene cautions against disrespect for the current law. She refers to the ignominious deaths of their parents for breaking the law unknowingly. She fears even more miserable deaths if she and Antigone are knowing lawbreakers. Antigone breaks the law, is sentenced to a nightmarish death, and chooses the same death as her mother had: suicide by hanging.
Antigone represents the belief in honoring divine law and family obligations above human law, while Creon represents the belief in upholding the laws of the state and prioritizing political duty over personal relationships. Their conflict showcases the clash between individual moral conviction and societal order in the play.
