Sophocles Antigone is a screenplay on family struggle, political power, male and female power struggle. In this theater there are several aspects of the conflict between Kryon and Antigone. Kryon thinks Antigone is a ruler, a legal father of the future, a man of a society controlled by a man. Creon said in the (Creon 528-529) line, "If he does not punish her, I am a man, not a man." Sentry told Creon to burial Polyneices, but he explained that person as a man. Sentry thought that a man was a man and he buried these sufficiently bold women because they were considered to violate their social laws (whistles 668 to 671). The significance of these two dialogues is that in these two sentences, Sophocles express society as a male-dominated society. From these sentences, both Kryon and sentinel believe that women are weak, men must be brave and strong.
