My reaction towards the play Antigone By: Sophocles is to me most of it is based on decision making , money, gender, relstiondhips, beings a man, and conquences with what humans beings deal with. We humans beings are week, and we can only strengthen through companionship of another person. We rely on one another to keep out through all the difficult times we have in life. The play opens with a dialogue where Antigone meets her sister Ismene. Together they grieve over the losses of their family has suffered. First, was their father, Oedipus, had unknowingly murdered his own father, ascenmded the throne, and married his mother. When Oedipus dicovered this, he put out his eyes, and wandered from Thebes until his death. Then their brothers Polyneices and Eleocles had killed each other in a battle between Thebes and the city of Argos. Because Polyneices fought against Thebes, Creon the new King of Thebes, has ordered that hia corpse remain unburied considering his spirit to roam for one hundred year.
