Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Hero of Antigone. It needs to be at least 500 words.
Download file "Hero of Antigone" to see previous pages...Her father being dead, the state of Thebes has been taken over by the king Creon. After a bloody battle in which one of Antigone's brothers, Polyneices, refuses to accept Creon's claim and tries to plunder the city, in the process fighting against his own brother who has sworn allegiance to Creon, both brothers are slain.
Creon immediately issues a decree that Etiocles will be buried with all honors but anyone who dares honor Polyneices with a burial will be put to death. His reasoning is clear. in his eyes Polyneices is a traitor who has plundered the city and gods of his forefathers and raised his hand against his own family. He is therefore base and undeserving of an honour of burial. Antigone rebels against this, as the edict goes against the commandments of the gods and disrespects them as well as the family that he belonged to, and she decides to bury him, despite the fact that she knows it means her own death.
