Antigone: The Conflict of Hubris, Fate, and The gods

Antigone: Pride, fate, fighting God Sophocles, Antigone is a classic example of God's role in Greek life. This is a precedent set by the gods, a story related to the intention and behavior of Antigone characters. Kryon deceived himself and believed that he claimed God's rule. Even though he can not deny his power, he wants to regard himself as being superior to God. Despite any obstacles trying to replace them, humans still need to respect God.

With Antigone's drama, writing Sophocles may be quite controversial. He explained various opinions of justice through the fate of the characters in play. Both Kryon and Antigone insist that they have a law and a god on their part. They provided evidence acceptable for that reason and proved that justice was carried out correctly. Criston believes his ability to become a king will prove that burying polynation is not buried. On the other hand, Antigone believes that justice is the ability to bury her brothers.

Sophocles anti-gone focuses on the conflict between human law and God's law. Because it is impossible to execute these two rules at once. Antigone wants to honor God by burying her brother, but Kryon's law stipulates that his brother is not a burial because he is technically a traitor of the country. Antigon is the eldest daughter of Oedipus and King Cryon, King Tethbes is proud of. In other words, there is a conflict between Religion Antigone and Tyrant Kryon. In Kryon, the tyrant believes that the state is a private property as the king, but the great courage to challenge the authority of Antigone has made the audience feel her strong sympathy and praise. She is a martyr of her faith

Sophocles explained the dramatic tension of the drama based on the theme of Antigone. One of the themes is the characteristic of Antigone and Kryon with the power of opposition to reason and emotion, especially proud of arrogance, exaggeration and delusion. Destiny and self-determination can also make the play tense, especially in Antigon, which seems to be doubtful whether she comes out of her own free will, or from the curse of Thebes' house. Another important theme of Antigone is the balance between the power of men and women. Antigone was following the role of a female funeral for his brother, but she acted actively often. In her culture this behavior is considered more masculine than men. Her behavior is born of love for her brother and love for religion, and her personal feelings conflict with law requirements.
