I found this play very interesting. Even though it was produced centuries ago, we could still easily relate with the themes it depicted. It encourages people of the modern world to stand up for what they believe in. It teaches us to be more open-minded and we learn that there are no set rules. We do not always have to do what we are told. We just need to be aware of the consequences of our actions. Antigone also places an emphasis on being proud. It is important to have pride for the reason of restoring ones own self-esteem. However, having too much of it (hubris) can lead to destruction. Admitting that you are wrong is not a bad thing. It can prevent a lot of heartache.Work Cited...
