Scene 2
POV4

Character: Antigone

How was I suppose to react to my own brother’s harsh beliefs in not giving my dead brother a proper burial that he deserved? Creons definition of a man is no greater than what he is. A man doesn’t have to fight in a war to or even kill someone to define himself. That was Creons view. With me as his own sister who felt to turn against him because of his belief he thought that I should die, basically because I buried my brother. Just as well as Polyneices was his brother he was my brother too. I feel no remorse for my feelings whatsoever, I was right and Creon was wrong. He feels that everyone should follow him, which makes him an iconic figure of once a leader named Oedipus. They both have something in common, POWER. Who should be the one that suffers the most for creating evil, no one but my brother? If Creon kills me he is only making matters worse than they already are then making things better. The downfall of our family at most is Oedipus intimately being involved with his mother, with me being killed by my own brother that could kill the family in the heart.
