In the play Antigone, the main character Antigone, had her actions rewarded by death. She had disobeyed the law made by Creon (the king) and therefore had to be punished. It seems as if she made her actions just so people would think of her as a heroine. What kind of evidence would make people think of her as a hero or a good role model? The fact that she purposely disobeyed the law because she felt it was the right thing to do. And also because she did not deny her actions or go against her punishment. People might say that she should be admired because she stood up for herself and did what she thought was right. I believe Antigone should be admired and worthy to be honored because she did not deny her actions of burying her brother when she knew that the law said not to.Sentry: We rushed her, she didn’t flinch. We interrogated her, charging her with offenses, she stood up to it all, denied nothing Creon: And you, do you deny you did this, yes or no? Antigone: I did it. I don’t deny a thing. -pg. 32 lines 480-490 She didn\'t lie to get herself out of trouble, nor did she blame her accused actions on someone else.

“How dreadful it is when the right judge, judges wrong!” In this quote by Sophocles means Creon poor error in judgment, stubborn way of ruling Thebes, everyone he loved was dead.

Because of his mistake he had to live the rest of his life with guilt for causing many deaths. Antigone: Will you share the labor, share the work? I admire her determination to bury her brother and that no one would stand in her way. Not even the person who created the law. She had a lot of confidence in her that made it kind of obvious that she was going to do what she intended to do. I think that people should look up to her for that characteristic; her determination and self confidence. People can learn from her that with self determination and self confidence, anyone can achieve anything. Antigone did what she wanted to do, give her brother a proper burial, but lost her life for doing it. That should teach people that doing something may risk your life but if you rather die with pride than live and suffer, then the decision is yours. But then sometimes, death is never always the answer. Antigone: Creon has no right to keep me from my own. Another reason on why I think she s
