the conflict in the play is between a bad method and a value? The value is that of Antigone: She wants to show respect to the corpse of her brother. The bad method is that of Creon: He thinks he should severly punish even the dead to protect the state.

Hello dear!
please, allow me to comment that Antigone is a tragic person! Similarly are Kreon and everyone in the play!
Kreon is not a bad ruler (at least compared to any real one we can think of!) He made rules, regulations and followed the laws of the city! Since no city or anything is perfect, Antigone comes to go against the law, since the law needs improvement (can we improve it that way?)
In tragedies we do not mainly have good against bad, since in Greek philosophy there is no good and bad!
Tragedies are methods to motivate the audience's brain to work, to go beyond the level of that time! Tragedies are pushing for freedom, personal mainly!
