When a person choose to defy authority and rules because of what you believe is right it doesn’t always end well, but that doesn’t mean they were in the wrong.

From the beginning of the play and one of the main themes of it was Antigone deciding to go against Creon’s ruling and burry her brother.

She did it because she saw it as the right things despite what her fate might be if she did.

Creon ordered that Polynices remain unburied because he was thought to be a traitor and the reason for the war Thebes had to suffer through.

Creon’s punishment for any who decided to go against his orders was death.

It happens everyday really. Someone says that some else isn’t allowed to do something and they choose to fight it no matter the consequences they may face.

In Pakistan a young girl wished to go to school and to be eduacated even though where she lived it wasn’t approved of. She voiced her opinions and chose to fight the rules, and although she had a clear idea of how it might end she did it anyway. The result was her getting shot in the head with the Taliban determined to kill her.

Antigone wished to burry her brother even though she knew it was illegal to do so.

The young girl wished to become educated even though she knew the consequences of voices her opinion.

Antigone ended up dead, and the young Pakistani girl was shot in the head.
