In Sophocles’ play Antigone one major theme is the danger of pride or stubbornness. Some characters become so involved with their goals that they forget of any other options and accept harsh penalties for their actions. In the cases of Antigone‚ Haemon and Creon the consequences of their actions wind up to be very extreme and lead to the deaths of these three characters. For her brother’s proper burial‚ Antigone goes to extreme lengths to fulfill her goal no matter what stands in her way. Against
