Two conflicts Antigone faces

The two conflicts Antigone faces are the conflict between herself and Creon, symbolizing character v. character, and the internal conflict within her representing the character v. self conflict.

Explanation:

Sophocles' play "Antigone" revolves around the story of Antigone and her decision to go against the orders of the king, leading to her exile and death. The play deals with themes of family ties, loyalty, pride, gender, etc.

Despite the many conflicts in the play, two conflicts faced by the main protagonist Antigone are-

1. She had to decide whether to disobey the King's order. Even though the two dead men were both her brothers, King Creon had decided that Eteocles was a hero while branding Polyneices as a traitor. And in that order, the right to give a proper burial to the traitor was prohibited, with the decree that anyone disobeying the order be put to death. This presents a conflict between Antigone and Creon.

2. The second conflict is when she had to decide which major fundamental law she has to follow. Obeying the king's order will keep her alive, but her filial duty to her own blood, to her own brother couldn't make her ignore Polyneices's body rotting without a proper burial. This is an internal conflict in Antigone.
