Theban Princess Antigone is arrogant in thinking that she can disrespect King Creon, the gods' earthly representative in Thebes. But at the same time, she may be said to have excess virtue because of her uncompromising love for her family and loyalty to the gods.

He also criticizes her for her disloyalty to King Creon and for foolish, stubbornly passionate behavior. He adds no note of praise for Antigone's loyalty to divine will and Theban traditions. He therefore accepts what is happening to Antigone as divinely justified and her due.
