Antigone, Burial of the Brother, CreonAbstract
This paper aims to examine Sophocles’ Antigone, highlighting the tragedy of a woman who chooses to obey the laws of the gods by ensuring the burial of her brother, while the tyrant Creon enforces the laws of men. As a consequence of her defiance, he condemns her to death and orders her to be immured alive in a cave, where she is left to perish from starvation.
