In this paper I am going to analyze Antigone’s argument for when and why one should break the law. There are so many words that you could use to describe Antigone in the book, The Burial at Thebes. She is a passionate, prideful, and outspoken woman in a time when women were not able to be, especially not to ruler of Thebes, Creon. You could make the argument that love is a good reason to break the law, but I believe that Antigone’s religious faith is what really makes her feel that it is okay to break the law.

People act ethically responsible when one is in need of assistance because they let their sympathetic feelings of compassion take over their intentions. Ethical responsibility is a duty or obligation to ensure the individual’s well-being through specific commitments; such as saving someone from a certain tragedy. One piece of evidence from the text that demonstrates the sudden acts of ethical responsibility is “Can the Law Make Us Be Decent” by Jay Sterling Silver.

Agamemnon’s pride breeds so much contempt between him and Achilles that Achilles actually wishes to leave the Achaean army and his commander because he simply cannot bear to witness the constant exhibition of Agamemnon’s pride.

In the Greek tragedy Antigone, written by the legendary tragic poet Sophocles, the author describes the many character traits and attributes of Creon that parallel those of Agamemnon’s character in The Illiad. In the tragedy, Creon is the uncle of the protagonist Antigone and the ruler of Thebes.
