In today's world there are a few details about the situation that would have been different. First of all, Creon's proclamation that Antigone's brother is not to be buried would have to go through so many different channels before becoming something that is actually a law that could be broken. Then, when Antigone disobeys those orders, she would be put on trial by a jury of her peers and judged that way. Creon would not have absolute power to make laws and punish those who break them so severely. Especially a crime so light as throwing a bit of dirt over a body would not be punished so harshly.

Answer:

Comparing and contrasting Antigone's situation then to today's world, her case would be handled in a completely different manner. First of all, the death penalty is only legal in a handful of states - and especially wouldn't be used for such a minor trespass. Secondly, Creon wouldn't have full control over what happened to Antigone; he would only have a minuscule amount of persuasion. No matter the offense, Antigone would still have rights. Lastly, it's incredibly possible that Creon wouldn't have even been able to make the burying of Antigone's brother illegal. In order for a bill to pass as a law, it has to go through several channels of approval.

Explanation:

theres a lot of paragraphs so you really gotta search for them, a good one that might help you is "Captain Grimm is the captain of his own airship, and acts somewhat like a pirate against other unfriendly airships. Gwendolyn is the daughter of a high house that makes the power crystals which power the mighty airships. She has joined what comprises the military, and meets up with Bridgette, who is a daughter of a fallen house that now makes vat-meat. Yummy. She has a cat though that she can talk to, named Rowl, who is also a main character. It’s okay though, because the cat doesn’t talk. Phew! No talking cats. (As an aside, if you get the chance to listen to this audio book, the voice of Rowl is brilliantly done.) Along the way, they meet Folly and her master, Ferus, who are Etherealists and can control the Ether, which is responsible for lots of the world’s technology and the movement of the airships through the skies. Through Folly, we get a look into both the magic system of the world and the psychological and mental damage that its use imposes on its users. Pretty cool stuff."
