    I think the least honorable person is Antony‚ because he’s the one who caused a riot. Antony even caused a war just because he didn’t like the way Julius Caesar died.

In Sophocles ‘Antigone’ women however are portrayed in a different light. They are shown to be brave‚ relentless and strong human beings
