Question

1. What are the beliefs of Creon, Antigone, and Haimon about laws? Compare and contrast. 2. What is the conflict of Antigone? 3. What is the theme of Antigone? 4. How does the conflict help develop the theme you identified? Be specific and use evidence from the text to support your answers.

Answer 1

Antigone believes that her brother, Polynesis should be buried, and Creon disagrees. Haimon wants to marry Antigone, but when she is put in a cave he kills himself along with Antigone. The theme of Antigone is tension and fate. Tension is created by Antigone burying her brother, and Creon doesn't like that. I hope this helps!
