Question

In Antigone which sister do you agree with and why. Any help is appreciated and 10 points to the best answer.

Answer 1

I would side with Antigone too. Family should always come first for one thing. For another, even those who die in defeat should be entitled to an honorable burial -- especially those who die defending what they believe in. She had every right to bury her brother honorably.

Answer 2

I'll go with Antigone. There is a limit to the legitimate reach of the law, and sometimes obedience should not extend beyond that limit:

It was not God's proclamation. That final Justice
That rules the world below makes no such laws.

Your edict, King, was strong,
But all your strength is weakness itself against
The immortal unrecorded laws of God.
They are not merely now: they were, and shall be,
Operative for ever, beyond man utterly.

I knew I must die, even without your decree:
I am only mortal. And if I must die
Now, before it is my time to die,
Surely this is no hardship: can anyone
Living, as I live, with evil all about me,
Think Death less than a friend?
