what is the culture in antigone
The last issue Sophocles comments on in Antigone is the role of power and authority in a culture. Creon is the king and can do essentially whatever he chooses; in this play he chooses not to allow Polyneices a proper burial.t is true that Antigone is as intractable as Creon; however, her stubbornness is based on family pride rather than personal pride. Women were not traditionally part of the Greek culture, so having a woman speak and act as Antigone does is may be Sophocles' way of suggesting that women's voices add value to a culture.
