By her commitment, she defends not only her beloved dead brother Polyneices but also those of the entire city of Thebes.

I can't sorry.

in my home examination there was a question like, who is the protagonist of the play, antigone or creon?i thought it ws open ended and we can choose anyone.therefore i chose antigone. but out of 10 marks i scored only 2 because the right answer was creon. creon realised his mistakes at the end and felt guilty for his action, where as antigone didn't feel any guilt. so creon is the protagonist.
Antigone is not the antagonist nor is Creon the protagonist in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the antagonist is the opposite of the protagonist. The protagonist is the main character, the hero and the doer of great deeds. Theban Princess Antigone meets the criteria of a protagonist what with the course of all action being determined by her great deeds. She sets the stage for the conflict over the separation or union of church and state by breaking Creon's illegal edict of non-burial, burying her brother Polyneices, enduring her death sentence and inspiring an entire city with her courage and perseverance.
Antigone is the protagonist and Ismene is minor among the main characters in the play "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the protagonist is the main character around whom the play's action centers. This description fits Antigone's since it is her act of disobedience to one law and obedience to another that defines the course of all other actions and decisions in the play. Ismene is her sister's sounding board and does nothing to affect the course of events.
No, Ismene is not the protagonist in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene is one of the main characters since she has a name and interacts with the other main characters. But the protagonist is the main character around whom the play's action revolves. That description fits Ismene's sister, Theban Princess Antigone.
Antigone is the protagonist in the play "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, in English, the noun "protagonist" may refer to the champion of a particular cause. It also may refer to the main character. Either way, the English word comes from the classical language of the ancient Greeks. In Greek, the word "protagonistes" combines "protos" for "first" with "agonistes" for "actor." All three descriptions - champion, leading actor, and main character - apply to Antigone.
That Antigone is the protagonist is the reason why the play by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) is entitled "Antigone."Specifically, the protagonist is the hero who does great deeds and holds great powers. The protagonist also is the main character around whom all action centers and who affects the course of all action in the play. Both descriptions fit Theban Princess Antigone. She impacts all characters and subsequent events through her great deed of burying her brother Polyneices and her great powers of devoted love for her family, her gods and her people.
