The play Antigone is written by a famous ancient Greek dramatist Sophocles. The play Antigone portrays the conflict between the King Creon and his niece Antigone over the proper burial of her brother, which Creon prohibits. This central conflict creates many minor and major conflicts in society in the background of the play. The play molds these topics into the plot, such as the rights and social position of woman. The rights and social position of women were low and considered less superior to man. Antigone challenges this stigma in Ancient Greek society throughout the play. A man was considered more superior than women and had more rights in society. For example, Ismene admits to herself that women are oppressed and can’t fight with men.
