This theme was showed continuously throughout the book when Antigone stuck with her brother’s wishes and didn’t back down – even through adversity. Antigone followed through with burying her brother based on the principle of honoring him, which is very admirable. After she buried him, Creon looked for the one who disobeyed him and buried Oedipus. Antigone, knowing very well her punishment if she was found guilty, stated “I admit I did it. I won’t deny that.” (Antigone 500) This was a truly unselfish act and by saying this she showed that she was confident in her decision to put

All her life she had done nothing but serve others, never acting selfishly, and now God’s answer to her faithfulness was to take away her nephew Jefferson. Still, she pushes on, doing everything in her power to help Jefferson become a man before death. How much she does for Jefferson is an example of the type of religious faith these people had. No matter how many bad things were thrown at them in their lives, they persisted on, serving God and others. Grant, however, finds it hard to have faith in religion, instead sticking to a more realistic way of thinking.
Throughout the play, both are extremely important to each character, but family happens to dominate obeying the laws of Thebes. Antigone, the protagonist of the play, is loyal to her family from the beginning. Upon hearing the news that her brother, Polynices, will be left unburied and left to rot, she has one mission. Antigone is determined to bury her brother, aware that she is breaking Creon, her uncles, rule. Antigone is also aware of the consequences of her actions, which may result in death.
* This reveal the power of family tie, and how big the impact is family members can have on others. Although mama was not beside Chanda, Chanda still missed her a lot, and constantly remembered her. * Chanda is demonstrating the simple idea that the truth hurts, and it hurts to admit that her mother is dying. This specific quote implies how AIDS can tear apart a family. Tearing apart a family does not mean arguing or having an affair, but it could also mean question and not finding the answers.
Antigone believes that without burying her brother he will not have a good after-life. Antigone even goes as far as burying him twice. Antigone is more admirable in that she is not selfish. She cared for her brother so much that she would go through all this trouble to give him a good after-life. She wanted to marry Haimon but sacrificed this to bury her brother.
As Antigone fights against the authority to bury polynecies she comes into conflict with her uncle, Creon. Creon decides that she is to be punished even though she is family. He also gives her a chance to say that it wasn’t her, but she takes pride in the honor of her brother, and pride in the struggle that she went through to stay faithful to her family. This leads to conflict between her and Creon which diminishes their relationship “I intend to give my brother burial. I’ll be glad to die in the attempt,-- if it’s a crime, then it’s a crime that God commands.” This is stated by Antigone and it is showing that she would give her life to stay loyal to her family and to give her unburied brother the proper

If they refused or were so uncertain about giving you answers, then she should have sort out other doctor’s opinion. I know she wonders did she do everything she could for her father. I say she was a good daughter that
Antigone is more heroic than Creon, she takes risks and she is brave. When her own blood brother is sentenced to eternal suffering by being denied a burial, Antigone decides to break the law and risk her own life for her brother; “But I will bury him; and if I must die” (1.55) said Antigone, all for the sake of Polynesis’s eternal rest. Creon, on the other hand has no heroic traits apart from wanting the best for the people; he humiliates Antigone and her sister in public. This value and importance Creon has for the people’s opinion is destroyed when the people protest Antigone’s death, and he does not decide to follow what the people believe. Gentlemen, I beg you to observe these girls: One has just now lost her mind; the other, It seems has never had a mind at all (1.150) said Creon.
