Antigone Essay

   Many stories have tragic function as an instrument of the suffering of others. In Sophocles's play called " Antigone", it talks about how the character suffers by a king. Suffering can be cause by a death  of a relative, unfair laws of the government for other people. In " Antigone", many had suffered by a ruler of Thebes, Creon. This play is about a woman named Antigone who wants to bury her brother but she can't by the laws of Creon and she was punish by bury her brother that Creon find out by a guard. In line 20-23, " O fate of man, working both good and evil! when the laws are broken, what of his city stands! when the laws are kept, how proudly his city stands! when the laws are broken, what of his city then? never may the anarchic man find rest at my hearth", it means that everyone has to follow laws and if the laws are broken, the city  will be weak but it also in my opinion is if everyone is following laws, everyone is suffering that they can't do what the want. For example, Antigone is suffering that the laws can't bury her brother but the other brother can bury with a soldier tomb and everything else. But also she's suffering by her punishment of taking her in the tomb : alive or dead but Creon thinks she will learn by that punishment. Its not fair to not bury her brother, Polyneices because Creon said that he is weak and he died for nothing but  Eteocles did die by honor and gave him a tomb of a soldier, flowers and his honor. It also in the movie, I saw that Creon send soldiers to punish every man with a stab because according to the soldier, he said that he saw someone burying in the desert but he couldn't see by  sand wind
