Is Antigone a Stong Girl?
I think that Antigone sided with her dead brother because in her eyes, he is equal with her other brother Eteocles and deserves a proper burial as well. Her uncle, King Creon, has a decree saying that the traitor (which is Polyneices) should be left to be eaten by the vultures, dogs, et cetera while Eteocles receives a proper funeral. Antigone is also very strong-minded and is determined to give Polyneices the respect he deserves even though he did go to war with his brother and Thebes. However, Eteocles was selfish in giving up the throne. His actions led to the war and the death of him and his brother Polyneices. I believe Antigone was brave and loyal in supporting Polyneices. I cannot wait to see what is going to happen next in the story!!:)
