From Antigone s point of view I see where she gets off on wanting to break the law. Even though the king made the law where she cant burry the one brother that betrayed his country, he shouldn’t be mad enough to where he kills her over it. Even if Polynecis went against his country, it was for a cause. I would probably do the same if my brother tried to seize all the power for himself. My opinion on what Antigone is doing to burry her brother, I am all for it.
But I can also see where Creon is coming from with this law and his anger about wanting no one to burry the body of Polynecis. He can’t come off soft to his kingdom and let a traitor be buried, so as his punishment Creon is not allowing his soul to go to heaven. This really in a complicated pickle, considering after Antigone “buries” Polynecis, Creon wants to kill her, but he can’t because his son Haemon is going to marry Antigone.
What Inseme is doing though “I” think is really stupid. When her sister Antigone is taking the full fall, why should she want to go down with her? I understand that from her point of view she may feel diffidently about Antigone than I do but still, if I had a get out of jail free card I would take it, Not get executed
