Many times in our life, we must face decisions that may have negative consequences for the future. The reason behind these decisions is whether it is correct or incorrect. Sometimes, these reasons may be suitable for one side and not suitable for the other. In most cases this is just an opinion issue if the decision is correct or incorrect. In the Sophocles play "Antigone", the hero must choose the right result and the wrong choice based on his family, God's faith, righteousness.
Antigone firmly believes in the family. When she decided to first buried his brother, she completely ignored the law prohibiting it. She said, "Now you can prove what you are: a real sister, a traitor to your family," she handed the last pass to her sister ( 26-27). Antigone likes to face the outcome of illegal activities and will not try to feed the brother's body with wolves and birds. When she faced the king she stated the fact that her brother was blood, so whatever he did, it deserved her loyalty (409). In the face of fatal consequences, Antigone firmly believes that the family insists
Religion is an important element of Antigone's decision of breaking the law and burying his older brother. When trying to argue that my sister should not break the law, Antigone insisted that the crime was sacred and that any law should not be higher than the law of God (56). When asked why the king broke her law against the law, she said, "This is not a declaration of God, the ultimate justice" (354). Whatever people think of life, all the dead should be treated the same way. Antigone told King Kryon: "But all the dead have honor" (410). Antigone went on when the King tried to say that the evil person did not receive the same treatment. For Antigone, the law of God is more important than him.
As we face conflicts in our lives, we feel that we must do what we need to do right. In the case of Antigone, the situation concealed her brother's body, but this act of justice paved the way for more conflict. King Kryon ordered the criminal to be killed if the body was buried. In order to achieve his own sense of justice, Kryon decides whether he will kill his niece, who will become a daughter-in-law, or will weakly dissatisfied with life by canceling the accusation It must be. Kryon makes his choice and makes Haemon suffer the result. In any case, Antigone's play has justice, but unfortunately it appears in the form of death.
After King Kryon decided that his niece Antigone was imprisoned for breaking the law, if he did not correct his mistake by releasing his nephew Polyneices' body by releasing Antigone then the gods will forever Curse the city. Theve Kryon condemned the prophecy, but with the help of Choragos, he immediately noticed that Teiresias never missed it. He soon swallowed pride, buried the body of Polynesis, walked towards the vault and released Antigon. Unfortunately, the change in Kryon's idea was too late to save Antigone, which eventually resulted in a series of fatal incidents.
The script by Sophocles, Antigone tells the story of Antigone and Kryon, and their continuous contradiction. Antigon tried to fulfill the role of a solitary martyr, eventually causing unnecessary death, and life may have been saved. The King of Thebes Kryon tried to correct his mistake, Antigone became obstinate, proud of his mistake, and she was killed because she needed to do the right thing all the time. As Antigone tries to fulfill the role of a solitary martyr and chooses to be blind for those who are stubborn and trying to help her, she helped save her life, including life, Haemon, Eurydices etc. Maybe. The man died for ignorance in subsequent games
