Answer:
The theme of Political and family loyalty is depicted when Antigone states her rational for acting against Creon's proclamation. and also the theme of Feminine Elements and the theme of Civil disobedience connects her reasoning to the play.
Explanation:
Lines 508-518 shows the theme of political and family loyalty, Antigone, Sophocles and Creon are characters that represent political And also family loyalties in the play. Antigone is loyal to her family but for Creon, he doesn't hesitate to punish anyone that offends him be it family. Antigone goes against Creon's rule to bury her brother Polynices because she believes the dead deserved to be buried as a long family tradition. She stood up against Creon although shes is bound as a citizen to obey the laws of the city but her action shows that she is also loyal to her family as well as the gods because the traditions of the family allows her not to bow before any man made laws.
In the theme of feminine Elements, Antigone the daughter of Oedipus in the play is famous for being the sister that refuses Creon's command, she went against his command to give a a proper burial to Polynices who rebelled against the state, Creon has given her no importance because she is considered a woman who is a second class citizen of Thebes hence the theme of feminine element.
The theme of civil disobedience is also an important theme in the Oedipus play because Creon insist that whatever he says is law and must be obeyed. however Antigone believes that Creon's law is unjust because the dead has a right to burial hence her disobedience to bury her brother.
