Antigone


Antigone and Ismene are sisters.? They have two brothers who just killed each


other and both died.? Creon, whos very powerful, honored one and dishonored the


other.? The dishonored brother being left outside, unburied, and prohibited


anyone to cry or sympathetic on the dead body.? Antigone who came from a loyal


family could not stand to see her brother died unburied, so she asked her sister


to go with her to steal and bury? the brother-body. Unwillingly, Ismene


affrighted of the law and did not agree with her sister.? So Antigone steal and


bury the body by herself.? When Creon know this, he was very upset and order the


army to get the one stole the body.? They catch Antigone and take her to Creon.?


Antigone has not affraid of the execution which Creon would give.? Ismene, her


sister came and said that she had a share in this matter. But Antigon claims to


her own motivation.? Haemon is the only son of Creon.? He has not agree with


what his father commands.? They argue about who is right to give commands.?


Because Haemon had fallen in love with Antigone so he ran a way when his father


gave order to kill Antigone.? But then, Creon orders to take Anigone to a


locked-tomb.? A blind prophet named Teiresias go with a boy visit Creon and told


him what he did was wrong.? At first Creon did not agree, but then after


Teiresias gone.? He realized what he did was wrong so he called his servants to


release Antigone.? But it was too late, a messenger came with the bad news that


Creons son had killed himself.? The story did not stop there, another terrible


news came to Creon that th

e queen is dead.? When Creons wife heard the news of


her own son killed himself, she put violence upon herself and died.? Now Creon


opens his eyes and see who is right to judge. He had learn a lesson of wisdom in


a hard way.


The Antigone has many arguments and it is hard to fingure out which one is the


main one.? In the beginning? is the argument between Antigone and her sister.


And then the argument between Creon and Sentry.? When Antigone was catch, she


argue with Creon.? After that Creon argue with his only son.? After Antigone


gone, the phopphet came and argue with Creon.


In my own opinion, the main argument was about who has the right to judge


people.? Creon said he is the highest and he has the right to tell people what


to do and to executed people as he wishes.? Antigone has an objection that God


is the only has power to forbid, give commands, and penalties.? Haemon said: “A


man who thinks that he alone is right, or what he says, or what he is himself,


unique, such men, when opened up, are seen to be quite empty.” “Your face…to a


simple citizen.” He thinks his father was really wrong to make a decision to


kill some one. And he beleives that the city should not possessed by only one


man.? When Teiresias came and told him parables and asked what brave is it if he


fight with someone and that person died, there is no benefit after kill each


other.? The prophet gave the warning that he can not command someone to live nor


he shall not command someone to die.? Who is it really have the power to hold


mankind in living or take away humans life? With a unhappy ending the story


teaches us not to judge people.
