In the Greek tragedy Antigone of Sophocles, the playwright uses the event of punishment to resolve the conflict between divine right and human right.
We must realize that the divine laws were in conflict, embodied in the religious antigone, and the human laws determined by the free will of Creon. The purpose of the tragic work was precisely to combat the two extremist positions, punishing both for not seeking an agreement and wanting to prevail over one another. On Antigone's side, there was disobedience to the laws of his country. From Creon's side, there was the disobedience of traditions. This was how each one was punished at the end, Antigone, by his disobedience, caused the death of two more people. So she became a heroine of values, but who did not enjoy any prize. Creon, by his ambition and his despotism, lost his son and his wife, evidencing that we must think about the responsibility of our actions in the world.
Due to the laws and consequences of having books, which represents knowledge in the novel, people have slowly developed to stop reading and getting rid of books all together. This willful ignorance caused many people in their society deter from crime which causes people to have a lacking of knowledge and a more simpler life of watching television. Censorship is used to limit people's knowledge in the story which makes it hard for people to force change since it goes against what people had already known for years.
