The first role of politics is to eliminate anyone who is against it. In the play Antigone, the main character dies because she acted against the laws that Creon created. Antigone believed that she was strong enough to defeat Creon and his laws. She broke one of his laws by burying her brother. Seeing as she had lots of confidence, she accused Creon that he was wrong. This led Creon to get even angrier and sentenced Antigone to death. Seeing that her final moment was approaching, Antigone ended up trying to defend her

In addition, we can observe the same phenomena in the story “Angels”, written by Milan Kundera. Half of the story “Angels” is about two students doing their oral in front the class and the other half is dedicated to Kundera life story. The author is telling us about his past, in 1948, when communist had taken power in his country. When this happened, he knew that he did not belong in this particular circle of society. Kundera was rejected by his society since he did not fit in well with this new society. As a result, he was on his own.

“Well now, you just be clever about your judgments if you fail to produce the criminals for me, you’ll swear your dirty money brought you pain.” 4

“…Russian tanks burst into Bohemia and soon tens of thousands of people were in turn accused of betraying the people and its hopes, some of them thrown into prison and most of them driven from their jobs…one of these newly accused (I myself) was…A year after I wrote my last astrological article.” 3

“Antigone: They see it just that way but defer to you and keep their tongues in leash.” 5

“What law of mighty gods have I transgressed? Why look to the heavens anymore, tormented as I am? …Very well: if this is the pleasure of the gods, once I suffer I will know that I was wrong. But if these men are wrong, let them suffer nothing worse than they mete out to me…” 1

To conclude, we can see that politics play an important role in society. It had negative effects on its nation and it did not matter which side you are on, politics would always bring misery on both sides. Antigone was against Creon’s laws, Kundera was against the new Czech politics and Creon defended his laws no mat
