Antigone Essay

In thIs story Antigone and Creon have many differences. Antigone is a very loyal person to the people she loves. Otherwise Creon is not nice after all. He is the only loyal to the state. He is also the king of the Thebes. Antigone shows her loyalty because in (scene 2 , line 69) she says "I wIll bury the brother I love." She wants to bury her brother no matter what the situation is. She will sacrifice her life if she has to. Nothing will stop her on what she has to do with the people she loves. In the other hand Creon is not loyal to his family. In (scene 2, line 128) he says "He made war on his county, Eteocles defended it." He is not loyal to his family because his son Haimom doesn't think the way he dose. Haimon doesn't know the whole situation. He could be thinking differently then Creon. Maybe he thinks he's crazy or something. Antigone's pride is not lying to people.In (scene 11, line 59) she says " I do , I deny nothing." She is not a lier to anyone. She's straight out , speaks the truth. If you know that she is lying about something she will not deny it. Creons pride is negative. In (scene 11, line 133) he says " An enemy is and enemy, even in death." Dose not care if polonaises was his nephew. Most likely saw him as a traitor or an enemy. Creon stopped carrying about him when he waged the was on the Thebes. Finally after I have shown examples you can actually see how one is positive and one is negative. Antigone and Creon may be enemy's but nothing will change them on how they see things, not like anyone else.
