Antigone's Actions

Antigone did not obey the command of the king. But this decree stipulated that her brothers Polynices can not make a proper funeral. The reason is that Polynices is a traitor. Antigone's uncle, Kryon, the king enacted this order after many incidents. Antigon himself said he experienced "personal shame, public shame, nothing" that can not be experienced (Antigone, p. 658). Antigone and her family suffered a lot. It all began with her father Oedipus. The life of Edpsus is very confused.

In introducing the views of Antigone and Kryon, Sophocles has made the reader aware that Kryon's behavior is unjustified. He refused to see the benefits of Antiteton strategy. He emphasizes law and city more than his family, son, daughter in law, mother and sister. Before the prophet told him to pay him, he refused to see the law of the gods.

As a son of Cleon and a fiancée of Antigone, Hermon explained that "you should not give rationality", but Kreon could not find a reason before his son and his wife committed suicide. When Creon finally filled Polyneices and tried to save Antigone, she was dead. Haemon once told Kryon, "Distribution is the highest gift that God has for mankind," but Kryon can not use these words to find the truth until it is too late.
