In Antigone by Sophodes is a bit of messed up. Creon thinks Antigone is doing the wrong thing of burying her brother. Conflicts between the characters are the results of battle their similarity and their difference.

Antigone is different than Creon because Antigone is loyal to the family. Also that would be nice for her family. A quote for Antigone is that she says “this crime is holy.”(2.59). This means she is brave. Also she is caring for her brother. Also loyal to the gods. In scene 1 Antigone got blamed for burying her brother. Antigone got blamed because his body supposed to be there and not buried. In the other hand Creon is loyal to the states. Creon says “And death it is, yet money talks and the wisest. Have sometimes been known to count a few coins too many.”(1.62). This quote means money over everything. He is not loyal to family. In scene 3, Creon says all this things about no woman shall seduce us. He’s thinking that men have to stand out more. There are many difference between them.

The   paraphrase is that she is not scared and she is brave. She will do anything that is the right thing for her. In the other hand Creon says “and yet you dared defy the law.”(2.64). This shows that Creon is prideful because, Creon is honest and expects to get the truth as well and Creon is not scared by saying “dared to defy the  law.” Those are the similarity for them.

Antigone don’t deserve to be punished for nothing, she was just burying her brother. Although Creon should get punished for not letting go, of Antigone burying her brother. Although she is not scared of getting blame for a “crime of holy.” The outcome of the play was alright. It was true because no one gets blame for a crime like that.
