Antigone's Response

Her father committed suicide. Her mother committed suicide. Her two brothers killed each other in the fight for the kingdom. Her uncle Kryon got into the throne, decided to give something to the other, Polynices, scorpion, Eteocles, glory funeral, who died in him. He also revealed that no one is allowed to contact Polynices. If someone decides to bury him by doing something contrary to that law, they will be punished by the death penalty. Antigone should accept the fact that she wants to give up on publicly deceased brother.

Antigone 's reaction to her sister is strong. She said, "Let me and my stupid plan suffer from this terrible thing, I will succumb to any terrible death." In these respects, Antigone believes that sticking to the right thing It clearly shows that it is important. Gender is not a problem, but to keep your beliefs firmly. For Antigone, whatever its influence, you have the ability to know that you have to fight for what you believe and always see it.

The choir wants to believe it is not responsible for the punishment of Antigone. Logically, it is Kryon, who is responsible for the death of Antigone (In Sophocles' text, Antigone himself undertook some responsibility). However, Woods emphasized the emotional response of the choir and raised the question of collective responsibility. Kryon may be responsible for the death of Antigone, but Chorus refused to participate in any Antigone defense and constantly made Kryon's action with a politically unrelated framework Itself I will try to keep away from you. As pointed out above, the choir did not positively condemge Antigone as indifferent culture leads to the result of freedom, but the lack of active support for her was part of the condemnation. In an environment of creating indifference, the choir made it possible for Kryon to exercise force without restriction and therefore missed Antigone's failure.
