It is not relevant to compare Antigone to thehero-impersonator in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, a hero-imperonsator is an individual who looks like a hero, quacks like a hero, walks like a hero, but is not a hero. The hero impersonator may be a main character who does great deeds and has great powers, but lacks the heroic flaw, impact or selflessness. Antigone's life story represents that of a main character who does the great deed of burying her brother, has the great power to inspire an entire people to her cause and lives to defend her gods, her people and her people's most cherished traditions.

What is dramatic irony in 'Antigone'?

That Antigone is likened to a mother and to a wife are examples of dramatic irony in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the sentry compares Theban Princess Antigone to a mother bird who finds her babies stolen from the nest. Antigone helps her brother, not her non-existent children, and has no children of her own. Despite her lack of a husband or children, she then is compared to a bride when she in fact is processing to her death by live burial and starvation.
