In a response of 2–3 paragraphs, answer the following questions:

1.     What are the beliefs of Creon, Antigone, and Haimon about laws? Compare and contrast.

The first difference is their gender. Creon as the male ruler is responsible for the health and wellbeing of the entire city. He is to make sure that everyone is all right and is in proper care children as well as elders. Creon always made sure to follow protocol when it came to religion-based affairs, and always contacted Tiresias. Antigone, as the female, on the other hand was placed in the department of house chores and family burial sites. She was in charge of making sure the house was in proper order and that burials were in the rightful order.

2.     What is the conflict of Antigone?

The main conflict in Antigone had to be the debate on the laws of man or the laws of god.

3.     What is the theme of Antigone?

The main idea of Antigone was revolved around fate choosing for you or self-made choices. While Antigone made the choice to defy and ignore everyone of Creon’s’ orders, fate on the other hand was responsible for a significant amount of loss in the poem.

4.     How does the conflict help develop the theme you identified? Be specific and use evidence from the text to support your answers.

One of the main conflicts were Antigone vs. society as well as society vs. the state. In the poem, Antigone finds herself in conflict with the society or the state only because of the new king’s, Creon, law which she finds highly unfair and offensive.

 Hope this helps!
