Discuss the many levels of conflict between Antigone and
Creon.
The two main points of contention are 1) the principles each one
stands for and 2) the personal feelings that seem to elevate this
conflict from a simple dispute over ideals to a tragedy for all
concerned.
First, explain to your reader the
principles Antigone and Creon stand for. That is, find places
in the play where Antigone upholds the rights of the individual
to live by her own personal, religious, and family values. Then
show how these values are opposed by the public, civic, and
social concerns voiced by Creon, who holds that a government
has a right to assert its authority and demand loyalty from its
citizens.
Next, show how this conflict of ideals is further complicated
by personal feelings, not the least of which is each one's
pride. Identify places in the play where we see, for example,
Creon stating his belief that Antigone's actions and words make
her an ungovernable young woman. Show us things he says and
does
that let us know Creon thinks Antigone is disobedient and
rebellious, and if he does not control her, not only she will
become a threat to (what Creon believes is) a man's rightful
authority over family and society, but he, Creon, will lose face.
Also show your reader Antigone’s personal stake in the
argument - how as a woman
who has just entered into adulthood and has become the moral
anchor of her family, she refuses to be dictated to (among other
possible reasons because of her royal status).
You must use examples from the text, but keep these brief
and concentrate on your explanations. To cite the text, just
place the
line
numbers in parentheses at the end of your quotation. Example:
“Your quotation here” (771)
