In the play 'Antigone', the main character of the same name disobeys Theban King Creon. Antigone respects the god-given traditions by which Thebans lead their lives and prepare for their deaths. A recent decree contradicts these traditions, disrespects some of the Theban dead, and results in anguish and heartbreak for those loved ones that the dead leave behind. Antigone decides to disobey the law. In so doing, she disobeys the King as the issuer of that law. Her decision is based on respect for god-given and time-honored Theban traditions, rituals and rites; lovefor the memory of her disgraced, dead brother Polyneices; and concern for her own mortal journey through life into death.
