English Victims and Heroes In the play Antigone, the main character Antigone, had her actions rewarded by death. She had disobeyed the law made by Creon (the king) and therefore had to be punished. It seems as if she made her actions just so people would think of her as a heroine. What kind of evidence would make people think of her as a hero or a good role model' The fact that she purposely disobeyed the law because she felt it was the right thing to do. And also because she did not deny her actions or go against her punishment. People might say that she should be admired because she stood up for herself and did what she thought was right. I believe Antigone should be admired and worthy to be honored because she did not deny her actions of burying her brother when she knew that the law said not to. Sentry: We rushed her, she didn’t flinch. We interrogated her, charging her with offenses, she stood up to it all, denied nothing Creon: And you, do you deny you did this, yes or no' Antigone: I did it. I don’t deny a thing. -pg. 32 lines 480-490 She didn\'t lie to get antigone, people, right, law, creon, think, should, brother, because, thing, die, just, deny, actions, made, life, even, determination, wanted, self, say, role, proper, pride, play, one, model, lot, king, herself, heroine, going, doing, death, confidence, chorus
