Antigone Compare and Contrast Final Draft

Antigone Compare and Contrast

In Antigone Sophocles, Eteocles was killed and Antigone buried him. But Creon got mad, and thought a man burred Eteocles’ dead body. Later on Creon gets punished and horrible things start to happen to his family.

                Antigone and Creon are very different from each other. Antigone is loyal to her family, but on the other hand Creon is loyal to the state.  It is obvious that Antigone is loyal to her family when she says, “with military honors, gave him a soldier’s funeral” (Prologue. 15). This quote explains how she honored her brother, Eteocles, and how she honored her family. Antigone is also loyal to the gods when she decides to dust some dirt over Eteocles’ dead body. Creon is loyal to the state; you can tell he is loyal to the state when he says, “I, as the next in blood have succeeded to the full power of the throne” (1. 17-19). In this quote it shows how Creon wanted to take over the thrown and how he would do anything to be loyal to the state. Creon is also not loyal to his family, because he does not care about what the Teiresias, a bild prophet, told him that horrible things will happen to him and his family. Therefore, they are completely different from each other.

                Even though Antigone and Creon have many differences, they both also have similarities as well. For example, when Antigone says, “No more, Ismene. You are alive, but I belong to death”(2. 164). This quote explains how Antigone has a lot of pride to let herself die and her sister Ismene, because she has done nothing bad. Antigone also refuses to leave her brother Eteocles unburied, so she risks her life, just so that her brother’s body is buried. Creon also has pride when he does not listen to the blind prophet when he says, “And the Furies and the dark gods of Hell are swift with terrible punishment for you” (5.82). This shows how it takes a lot of pride for Creon not to take the prophet seriously. Creon also has too much pride to believe that a woman can do such a thing and bury Eteocles. This shows how prideful and how he is positive a man had to bury Eteocles. These are a couple of examples of how Antigone and Creon are alike.

                Antigone deserves some of the blame because if she would have never buried her brother, there would have never been in a feud with Creon. But Creon should also deserve some blame because he just makes things worse and trying to kill people who did not take action in this ‘crime’. Also if Antigone would have not buried Eteocles there would not be any problems in the first place. After all these tragic incidents, it leads to Antigone’s death and the death of Creon and his family.
