Paul’s parents’ choices changed the direction of his life. While they meant well, they were shielding Paul from life and the real world. They also prevented Paul from growing up and may have led Paul to distrust his parents and other authority figures.

Antigone ends up defying Creon (and therefore the state) after several instances of attempting to change Creon's decision, claiming how her brother had earned a proper burial, and eventually going so far as to bury him herself (which is again revealed through dialogue as opposed to external action) – an act which would eventually cause her death. Antigone's greatest fault lays in her stubbornness to give up on her desires; as noble as her intentions were, it was her inability to concede her desires that led to her ultimate
