Sophocles' Antigone - Antigone as Bad Citizen

To be a good citizen, you need to do something different to help others. Sometimes this goes against the will of others to do what citizens think is the best. This is a traditional situation, but the biggest factor for becoming a good citizen is to respect the country in which you live. If a person wishes to be a good citizen, that person may be a way to help others, but he must do so within the rules of the state. In the Greek Sophocles drama called Antigone, Antigone shows that I call it a bad citizen right. How's this? Why is she a bad citizen?

The background of the drama is a fictional kingdom called Thebes. This kingdom is basically dominated by a series of rules and laws. Regardless of whether or not you need to follow these rules. In Thebes, one of the rules is set so that the brothers of Antigone are not permitted a good death, so an appropriate funeral will not be done. Antigon has been torn apart. Her very beloved brother will not be able to open a fine funeral. In the drama, she explained how much I opposed the rules of land. Due to dissatisfaction with this law she took away her brothers from the nominated position so that they could do what they wanted. She was in violation of the law. What she did was right in her head, but the law does not allow this. During the play, she consulted with her sister Ismene when she thought that she should commit this crime. Ismene revealed that her sister should not stop stopping doing what he did. Contrary to her older sister's proposal, Antigone committed such a crime as thought it was a good thing.

Antigone: Sophocles introduced Antigone as Oedipus 'daughter to Oedipus' king. But among the King of Edps, King Antigon is still a relatively small role. In Antigon, she became the protagonist of push. She is strong and devoted to her family. When Kryon ruled that her brother Polyneices was not buried, Antigone refused to obey. Indeed, Antigone believes that the laws of the gods far exceeds the laws of mankind. Kryon: Kryon is a tyrant who ruled Thebes. Contrary to Antigone, Kryon considers human 's "rational" law to be better than God's "irrational" law. Kryon follows this belief, even in the face of strong opposition. It is this stubbornness that has proved to be a tragic defect of Kryon. But as the story progressed, Kryon became less so violent.

In Sophocles' play "Antigone", the roles of Antigone and Kryon are opposite each other. A man named Polyneices, a brother of Antigone and nephew of Creon, is declared a traitor to Thebes. Antigon wanted to die rather than leaving his brother, but King Kryan believed that civil law was absolute. But only Antigone can really protect his morality. Antigone believes that her brother Polynesia should be buried. Antigone said, "Kryon has buried our brother Ethelus with the honor of the army ... but diversified .. .. fought bravely and died tragically (Sophocles 1022, 15-18) When she said these words to Ismane she made a clear statement of her view Wherever her brother is, they are her family and deserves respect.
