Rebellious Conscience vs Authority Power
Antigone, the play Sophocles has written, is a tragic play about the human nature rebelling against an authoritive power. ... Conflicts cause tension, as Antigone is the protagonist whose individual conscience of burying her brother, Polyneices, is against that of Creon’s, the authority in power. ... Creon’s thirst for power and his unyielding stubbornness to the idea that his judgment may be wrong contributes to Antigone’s bitterness here. ... When individual conscience and designated authority differs, there are high chances of dissidence waiting to happen.
