Yes, Antigone's character represents pre-feminist ideas in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, a woman, Theban Princess Antigone, is the protagonist as the main character, the holder of great powers and doer of great deeds. She manages to bury her brother, challenge an unjust law, defend the gods and Theban traditions and defy a heartless dictator. She succeeds even though she gives her life to her cause and even though she lives in a male dominated society where women are expected to follow the masculine lead.

Antigone's father/brother is Oedipus. (Oedipus marries his mother, Jocasta and Antigone is their child.)
Ismene doesn't wasnt her sister, Antigone, to bury POlyneices because she fears for her sister's life. Creon proclaimed that whomever might bury Polyneices would be publically stoned to death.
Admiration, love and loyalty are Haemon's feelings about Antigone in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Prince Haemon praises Antigone, his first cousin and bride-to-be, for respecting divine law and protecting the rights of the Theban dead. He persists in his love for her and in his desire to not break the engagement and to be married to her. He defends Antigones rights to holding her own opinions and to following her own course of action.
That she is the main character is the reason why Antigone is the protagonist in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the protagonist is the main character around whom the play's action revolves. The protagonist is heroic in doing good deeds. This describes Antigone, who is both the main character and the principal female character. She does good deeds, because she respects her family, the gods and Theban traditions.
Antingone
Antigone is a young girl in Oedipus and she has no lines. It is not until Oedipus at Colonus that her character begins to develop.
That she numbers among the play's cast of characters and that her life comes to an unfortunate end is the reason why Antigone can be considered a tragic character in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Antigone is a main character who influences and is affected by the interactions among the other main characters. Great changes can be expected of her as Princess of Thebes, and yet her life is cut short, suddenly and cruelly. What she does therefore defines her as a main character and what happens to her therefore defines Antigone as tragic.

Questioning and passionate describe Antigone's attitude and character in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone evidences her questioning attitude when she refuses to something as correct just because a king says so. She manifests her passionate character when she refuses to abandon her convictions, her family and her gods. For example, Antigone questions the correctness of obeying a royal edict that contradicts divine will and threatens cherished Theban traditions.
To show that is Antigone is both the main female character and the protagonist and to foreshadow her suffering as the tragic hero are the purposes served by her appearance at the beginning of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone's being the first character to be seen and to be heard in this case is symbolic of her role as the main character and as the tragic hero. That Ismene is second to be seen and to be heard is symbolic of her status as a supporting character. That the two discuss how they will respond, or not, to a challenge foreshadows the heroic Antigone's tragic fate.
That her actions affect all other actions is the reason why Antigone is the main character in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the dramatist identifies his main character by honoring her name in the play's title. He also indicates that Theban Princess Antigone is the main character by having all action be affected and determined by what she does. For example, King Creon issues the royal edict that his niece decides to disobey. But she steps forward as the only protester. All actions trace back to her protest.
