What is the Paean of 'Antigone' about?
A paean* is a hymn of praise. Antigone's paean occurs with her procession to her tomb. Antigone indicates that she's ready to go to her death. She looks forward to meeting all of her family in the underworld realms of the afterlife. She regrets not experiencing marriage with her beloved first cousin and fiance, Haemon. She likewise regrets not undergoing the joys of raising children and continuing her parents' bloodline.But the regret isn't enough to stop her death march. Indeed, she doesn't regret her respect for the will of the gods and the god given traditions of Thebes. So she doesn't ask her death to be stopped. Instead, she asks that her wrongdoers meet the same fate.It's with this last, passionately willful statement that the chorus steps in, but not with a paean's song and dance. Instead, the leader chides Antigone for her uncontrolled passion. Indeed, Antigone respects the gods in terms of death, but disrespects them in presuming to influence their decisions on the fate of mortals.*Technically, Antigone's paean isn't a paean. During a paean, there's music to which the chorus dances and sings. But Antigone's paean consists of her dialogue to a chorus that basically stands still and doesn't react.
