Antigone

That she will disobey the King's law and that she won't hide her disobedience are two crucial decisions that Antigone makes. Specifically, she decides that she's going to give the body of her dead brother Polyneices a partial burial and complete funeral service. Both are outlawed by her uncle and sovereign, Theban King Creon. At the same time, she plans not to be at all secretive about her disobedience. This means that she'll get caught. The punishment for disobedience is death.

Antigone is the anarchist.

No, Antigone's suicide may not have been against the Greek gods' wishes. In fact, in ancient Greece, a 'forced' suicide was an acceptable choice for those ancient Greeks who found themselves on the losing end of a conflict with ancient Greek city governments. In the specific case of Antigone, she indeed found herself in compliance with divine laws only by violating man made laws. Whether she offended divine or earthly authority, she nevertheless had to pay with her life. It was considered, perhaps sorrowful, but acceptable for her to hasten her death by choosing suicide over life imprisonment in a walled up cave. Additionally, it was recognized in the play 'Antigone' that the main character of the same name suffered from the divine curse on the descendants of Cadmus, who founded the city of Thebes in around 2000 B.C. Theban King Cadmus' descendants Labdacus and Oedipus were cursed by their bloodlines and by their own clashes with the gods. In such cursed cases, the gods kept the curses going for generations. The staying power and punishing nature of divine curses tended to lead to the loss of everything dear, including one's own life. So Antigone's suicide very well may not have gone against the wishes of the Greek gods.

To go and bury Polyneices and free Antigone from the stone chamber.

This line near the end of Act II represents the climax of the play, and simultaneously provides the moment of discovery (anagnorisis) for the title character.

the oracle predicts. It does not command. Oedipus runs away and does not discuss the matter with his father or the man he thinks is his father perhaps because he is afraid of himself that he is capable of doing such a thing. It is ignorance that leads to what he did. had he been able to talk about it he might have found out more - enough perhaps to change the future seen by the oracle. But the Oaracle says things in a way that confuses those who act to qickly without working thins out dramanoitallnot says : In the Story of Oedipus, the king and queen of Thebes have a son named Oedipus. But there is a prophecy which says that Oedipus will kill his father and marry his mother. To stop this happening, the king and queen get a slave to take their baby son and tie him up on a hill, but the slave takes pity on him and gives Oedipus to his master. When Oedipus has grown up, he hears the prophecy. And so, to prevent this from happening he decides to flee from the people who he thinks are his parents. When he is fleeing Thebes, he meets a man on the road and the get into an argument and Oedipus kills them man who is actually his really father, Laius, the king of Thebes. Oedipus then reaches the sphinx who is outside Thebes guarding it. Oedipus answers the riddle, gets it right, and as his reward gets to marry the queen of Thebes and become king. But by doing this, Oedipus does not know he is marrying his real mother! They have four children together as well, Polynices, Eteocles, Ismene and Antigone. But famine returns to Thebes and through this Oedipus hears of his true identity. The queen of Thebes is so shocked and disgusted that she kills herself, and Oedipus pierces his eyes with her golden brooches. So Oedipus is not made to marry his birth mother and kill his birth father, it just happens as the prophecy predicted.

The point of view of Sophocles [496 B.C.E.* - 406 B.C.E.] may be found in the words of the Chorus Leader. At first, Sophocles therefore appears to suggest that Theban King Creon's law against the burial of Polyneices may be a good law. Creon says, 'Side not with the breakers of these commands'. The Chorus Leader replies, 'No man is so foolish that he is enamored of death'. But this response is two-edged. The Chorus Leader actually doesn't say that he approves of Creon's law. Teiresias talks to the King about the birds fighting each other. This is something that never has happened before. The Chorus Leader traces the cause of the bird fights to their beginning to eat Polyneices' body. The Chorus Leader therefore advises the King to let Polyneices be buried after all. *Before the Christian Era

Because she has disobeyed the law and him.

She has decided to give her brother, Polynices, an honorable burial, although her uncle Creon (the king of Thebes) has stated that anyone to do so will be labeled an enemy and traitor to Thebes and will be killed.

It was serious

Creon believes that Polyneices doesn't deserve to be buried because haha I'm just kidding I'm not going to tell you, you should of read lol I'm kidding, but it's because Creon believes that once an enemy always an enemy and Creon is on the opposing side of Thebes.

his pride was his pathos because he never thougt that he was the murder of his father and the man who was damned without knowing he searched the man who was damned in fact he was that man

Answer #1 by Pernys32 She buried her brother singlehanded. She must have had big muscles. Answer #2 by Ginezumi Antigone asked her sister Ismene for help in burying their brother Polyneices. Ismene refused. Antigone indicated that she didn't have the strength to give him an actual burial on her own. Because she had to do everything herself, Antigone honored her brother with the proper burial rites and rituals even though a below-ground burial didn't take place. Instead, she covered the corpse with a light sprinkling of dust and then an anointing with the necessary, sacred oils. Perhaps the most famous representation of Antigone has been by Frederic Leighton[December 3, 1830-January 25, 1896], 1st Baron Leighton. In the style of the time, Leighton's Antigone may have been somewhat plump. But the representation was just of the head, neck, and shoulders. Leighton's interpretation and those of others may be found by entering 'Antigone' at Google Images. In actuality, Antigone may have been more physically fit than plump. Prior to the action of the play 'Antigone', she had joined her father, disgraced Theban King Oedipus, in exile. So she may have gotten a lot of exercise in their journeys. And she may have gotten used to eating sparsely. Such descriptions would fit with the two most famous representations of Antigone in film: Genevieve Bujold [b. July 1, 1942] and Irene Papas [b. September 3, 1926].

A tragic hero's tragic flaw is what helps to do the hero in. A hero is an individual who does great deeds, and has great power or strength. The tragic hero faces an unhappy reversal of fate or fortune, and even may die within the confines of the story. In the case of the play 'Antigone', the main character of the same name faces cruel punishment, and takes her own life. That reversal or that death results from an interaction with a superior force. Specifically, Antigone has a fatal interaction with her superior and her uncle, Theban King Creon. She also has a fatal interaction with the superior force of divine fate that casts a curse on her ancestor, Theban King Labdacus, and all of his descendants. That reversal or that death becomes a foregone conclusion with the hero's tragic, often fatal, flaw. The flaw tends to be pride. If nothing else, it's pride in thinking that an individual can escape the fate that the gods portion to each mortal. Such is the case with Antigone's parents, Theban King Oedipus and Queen Jocasta, who vainly try to escape their god-ordained destinies of king killing, parent killing, and mother-son marrying and procreating. But in the case of Antigone, the tragic flaw isn't pride. She never once fools herself that she will escape a death sentence for disobeying Theban law in order to obey divine law. Instead, her flaw is her raging, uncontrolled passion that disrespects different personalities and viewpoints and stubbornly refuses to try to work things out reasonably and respectfully.

Creon thinks that the sentry is been resposible for burying the body.

Sophocles wrote Antigone. He was born in 496 B.C. in Athens, Greece and dies in 406 B.C. He led a boys choir, worked as a priest, and worked on the Board of Generals.

The Christian God isn't mentioned in 'Antigone'. The play most likely was written during the 440's Before the Christian Era. If the events were based on fact, then the happenings took place even earlier.

Yes, but not only that, they were killed by each other. This came to pass because Eteocles tried to usurp the power of kingship that he and his brother were supposed to share. As a result, Polyneices was angry and led the foreign arms of his wife's land against his own city. It is because of this betrayal by Polyneices that Creon, the new regent, will not allow any funeral rites performed on his body.

In ancient Thebes, Greece.
