The person would then conduct his life according to the principles discussed and the truth he finds out. The three are clearly related to each other as while living a person should be following those principles and he would be required to know the truth too. Socrates had been imprisoned due to speaking out his mind and was scheduled to be put to death. All because he had been investigating truth and said what he thought was right. He was not given the freedom of speech. However, when Crito asked him to escape and get away from the injustice, he did not agree and felt that he should follow the common principles of those times. he thought that the rules are for everyone and should be for him too. In Antigone we see a similar situation. Sophocles says God’s law is greater than that of man and he did that in order for the population to be safe from moral destruction (Johansen 96). Another theme is that of civil disobedience when Creon and Antigone have differing viewpoints. While Creon feels that the law should be followed whatever it is, Antigone feels that the state law is not absolute, and that the law of gods is much greater and more to be followed. In fact, his view is that the state law can be broken if need be to follow the law of gods. That is, he clearly prefers gods’ law over the state law which is made by mortals.
