as well as fine lines between what is socially acceptable and what is not. From a moral and societal outlook‚ Antigone is a character that seems deaf to reason while Ismene is a character that seems much too easily swayed by reason. Antigone is too headstrong for her own good. The only opinion that matters is hers; no one’s words could make her change her outlook on life and death.

But since Polynices‚ her brother‚ was a traitor who died in war‚ the law does not allow. Antigone does what she believes is right even if that means death for her. The law is ignored in the play “Antigone” by Sophocles multiple times. For example‚ Antigone ignores the law when she is told she can not bury her brother‚ Creon breaks the Gods
