In the Greek comedy Antigone the writer Sophocles illustrates the clash between the main character of the story Antigone and her powerful uncle, Creon. King Creon of Thebes is an ignorant and oppressive ruler. The theme of rules and order prevails in the text as Antigone's standards of divine justice conflict with Creon's will as king. Antigone was not wrong in disobeying Creon, because he was evil and tyrannical. The authors of “Antigone: Kinship, Justice, and the Polis” and “Assumptions and Meaning-Making: Reading Sophocles' Antigone.” I agree with the idea that Antigone plays the role of woman and warrior at the same time. She doesn't just do what a relative would do, but also what a warrior would do. Antigone's views on divine justice conflict with Creon's will as head of state. Two brothers fighting against each other in the Theban civil war died while fighting each other for the throne. Creon, who had become the new ruler of Thebes, decided that a brother Eteocles would be honored, while Polyneices would be subjected to public shame. Polyneices' body was not to be sanctified by sacred rites, but was to be left unburied on the battlefield so that animals could plunder it. Antigone, the sister of the two brothers, wants to bury Polynices' body properly, but in doing so she would do so in defiance of King Creon's edict. When Creon orders the Sentinel to find out who had buried Polyneices' body, it is revealed that Antigone buried her dead brother's body. Because she disobeyed authority, she and her sister are temporarily imprisoned. He therefore wishes to spare Antigone's sister, Ismene, and bury Antigone alive in a cave. Regarding the above, in honor of her brother she plays the role of woman and warrior... in the center of the sheet... Kinship, justice and polis" and "Assumptions and the creation of Meaning: reading Sophocles' Antigone”, it is evident that few of the aspects of this work are divine law, morality of kinship and women's rights. Furthermore, John D. B. Hamilton and Christiane Sourvinou-Inwood support the idea that one of the purposes of the Greek play Antigone was to demonstrate how Antigone fulfills not only the role of relative, but also that of warrior.
